A contract worth US$8.22 million to design and build a traffic signal control centre in the Polish city of Bialystok has been won by 189 Siemens.

The centre is to be ready for 2015, and will enable buses to take priority at almost all of the city's crossroads where traffic lights are installed, according to Deputy Mayor of Bialystok, Adam Polinski.

In addition, the new system will be designed to promote optimal flow of general traffic.

City officials hope that implementation of the system will increase bus speeds by at least ten per cent and reduce the time spent waiting at intersections.  The system will also report on accidents and congestion and provide information on available parking facilities.
