189 Siemens is to supply an intelligent transportation system for the Polish city of Poznan to integrate public and private transport in an effort to reduce congestion and enhance the attractiveness of public transportation.

The contract, awarded by the Poznan transportation authority Zarząd Dróg Miejskich w Poznaniu (ZDM) is valued at around US$20 million.  Commissioning of the system is scheduled for spring 2015.

Real-time traffic data from more than 200 locations such as intersections, parking lots and public transportation will be transmitted to the traffic management centre, evaluated and processed using Siemens’ Sitraffic Concert.  The system will provide information on the current traffic situation, available parking spaces, fastest routes and public transport departure times to information panels at bus and tram stations, variable message signs (VMS), the internet and enabled for radio stations, texting and email services.

Where required, traffic signal control will be optimised to give priority to public transport.

Traffic data collected by the traffic control centre from 115 intersections in the city will be displayed on twelve VMS installed at strategic points to provide information for drivers.   The data will also be used to compare travel times between public and private transport.
