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.
