Dutch company 818 Technolution, along with its Danish partners 997 Hermes Traffic Intelligence, Jesper K Thomsen, COWI, V!gør, InfraTeam and ITS Teknik is to provide the city of Copenhagen, Denmark, with a digital traffic management system. The aim is to stimulate cycling and public transport as modes of transport, to help it meet its goal of being carbon neutral by 2025.

The system uses Technolution’s traffic management platform MobiMaestro, which will be installed in a new traffic control centre to manage a network of traffic monitoring sensors to create a customised traffic management system.

The data collected will allow the city to provide better information to road users, as well as to synchronise traffic signals, contributing to better flow and a cleaner city and reduced carbon emissions.

Not many years ago the standard method of coordinating signalised intersections in local areas was to install an on-street master – each of which monitored and controlled a limited number of signal controllers or intersections as a closed-loop system. And, to a certain extent, each closed-loop system was autonomous from others deployed by the ag

    UK cities must learn from the Netherlands and Denmark if active travel and increased safety for vulnerable road users are to co-exist, says TRL’s Marcus Jones Active travel’ refers to modes of transport in which physical effort is required to undertake purposeful journeys - for example, walking or cycling to school, work or the local shops, as well as walking and standing as part of accessing public transport. The benefits of replacing short car journeys with more active forms of transport are obvious. Act
