The need to evolve the way traffic is managed 

Today’s massive traffic volumes demand new political, organizational, and technical approaches to managing traffic: improvements in safety, protection of the environment, and active influence of driver behavior - particularly in dense urban zones. Requirements vary significantly ranging from country to roads, bridges and tunnels to construction or temporary traffic zones. Kapsch traffic management solutions are designed to be fully adaptable, taking into account local traffic conditions, infrastructure constraints, and operational best practices. 

Our traffic intelligence and active traffic management solutions transform traditional traffic control into a proactive mechanism that improves road safety, minimizes traffic congestion, and reduces the disruption caused by hazards, crashes, planned events, or construction sites. We also provide leading-edge demand management tools that fundamentally change how people travel through cities – whether by private vehicle, public transportation, or other modes.  

Authorities also require flexible tools to manage temporary road situations such as lane closures, contraflow operations, community event routing, or roadway incidents. Kapsch solutions support road traffic control through intelligent signage, message signs, sensor technologies, and variable speed limit capabilities that help control traffic flow and keep traffic moving safely around affected zones. These technologies can be used to manage traffic lanes manually or automatically, helping authorities reduce the risk of accidents, keep everyone safe, and quickly adjust to changing traffic conditions. 

Intelligent, proactive traffic management  

Traditional traffic management solutions are reactive, responding to incidents as they occur. Our data-driven solution, on the other hand, enables authorities to anticipate traffic problems and act pre-emptively. Using predictive analytics, for example, cities can act before problems arise, such as offsetting congestion before it forms. 

Kapsch TrafficCom’s urban traffic management applications are based on a modular and scalable traffic management platform. Its expandable and open design promotes seamless management and sharing of real-time and historical data, enabling it to become the foundation for an open and adaptable traffic and mobility data solution.  

The power of data 

Our solutions harness specialized data management technologies to deliver valuable insights and data-driven mobility planning.   

Featuring predictive capabilities and early detection of incidents, we enable agencies to transition from reactive to proactive operations. This minimizes congestion and much of the impact caused by unexpected events. 

The scalability and openness of our solutions enable traffic agencies to start small and grow progressively, supporting their long-term vision for traffic management improvement. It is a transformative approach which empowers public agencies to make data-driven decisions which enhance traffic flow whilst improving safety and sustainability. 

The benefits of intelligent, proactive traffic management 

  • Prediction 

    We use machine-learning data prediction models applicable to traffic and mobility data. Tailored for urban and inter-urban environments, these enable proactive decisions and actions to be taken based on anticipated behaviors.  

  • Detection 

    Early detection plays a fundamental role in enhancing operations. To achieve this, our solution incorporates connectors to automatically integrate information from connected vehicles and from drivers. Meanwhile, machine-learning technologies generate specific anomaly detection models to identify significant deviations from expected patterns.  

  • Automation 

    Our traffic management solutions integrate prediction and detection information with the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) which includes a Decision Support System (DSS). As a result, programmed actions and outputs can be automatically triggered by specific conditions and input data.  

Embracing the future with connected vehicles 

Approximately half of all vehicles sold today are connected to the internet. This has created a marketplace for vehicle data and enables around 75% of people to rely on navigation apps, particularly when faced with congestion. This is having a profound impact upon traffic management in cities and on highways. 

By linking Connected Vehicles with advanced data collection and processing platforms at the network edge and in the cloud, Kapsch solutions provide real-time traffic management capabilities and insights that support an enormous range of innovative safety and traffic mobility use cases. We make it possible, for example, to improve safety on both urban and interurban routes by supporting real-time safety applications such as Co-operative Automated Vehicles (CAV), and by communicating key safety information and warnings to drivers in their vehicles.  

Reliable solutions designed for long-term operation 

Traffic authorities depend on solutions that perform reliably every day, under all conditions. Kapsch traffic management systems are designed for continuous operation, supporting safe and efficient traffic control across roads, zones, and transportation networks. 

Built on proven technology and best practices, our solutions are often used in critical environments where reliability is essential. From routine operations to exceptional situations, they help ensure the safety of everyone on the road while supporting long-term operational and economic goals. 

By investing in scalable and dependable traffic management solutions, authorities gain a future-proof foundation that delivers value today and adapts to tomorrow’s requirements. 

  • Automated decision-making  

    Our solutions improve speed of response to incidents. 

  • Proactive traffic optimization 

    Real-time traffic flow insights and predictive analytics enable our traffic management applications to optimize the flow of traffic in cities and on highways. 

  • Scalable, high-performance software and platform & hardware components 

    Our traffic management platform provides a unified, open and modular solution to address all traffic management challenges facing road and city authorities. 

  • Connected Vehicles technology for direct communication with drivers 

    Kapsch is at the forefront of using AI-driven messaging to communicate with drivers in connected vehicles.

The potential of Connected Vehicle technology for accident avoidance and traffic improvement is huge – regardless of whether you're in a car, on a bike or on your own two legs.
