In a deal worth around US£7.8 million, 189 Siemens is to supply one of Poland’s most densely populated cities, Bialystock, with an inner-city traffic management system to optimise the growing volume of private vehicle traffic and increase the efficiency of its public transportation.

Siemens’ Sitraffic Concert traffic management system will be installed to improve traffic flows.  A new traffic management centre will receive data from more than 145 intersections, outstations, red light enforcement systems or public transport, providing centralised traffic management.  The data will enable operators to optimise traffic signals to give priority to public transport, increasing its attractiveness.

Future plans include providing travellers with traffic information via the internet, text messages and e-mail.
