Real-time traffic data to improve road safety.

The creation of this new innovative system provides a broad set of functionalities for the management of interurban traffic and road infrastructure. The system automates the collection and visualization of real-time traffic data, allowing operators to detect and respond to dangerous road conditions, congestion, incidents, and emergency situations. The information can then be quickly disseminated to drivers, road maintenance teams and interested stakeholders. The system also enables the easy integration and operation of current and future ITS equipment into the TRSCC and provides the interoperability of traffic control systems.
