Sensys Networks has deployed wireless sensors at 12 intersections and two pedestrian crossings as part of an ITS project in a Slovakian city. 

The Smart Trnava initiative has seen significant travel time reductions on some routes. Sensys says its technology enabled accurate data collection, real-time traffic analysis, and improved decision-making to optimise traffic flow and ensure pedestrian safety. 

Commissioned by the city of Trnava, the project uses the Invipo integration platform and is led by traffic tech firm Alam. It incorporates dynamic traffic management, Bluetooth travel time detectors and real-time traffic monitoring, enabling live traffic updates for road users. 

Key streets saw travel time reductions of up to 50%, easing congestion during peak hours, while advanced signal systems increased intersection capacity by nearly 9%. Sensys says improved traffic flow leads to reduced emissions, and in future Trnava plans to integrate additional smart technologies, such as enhanced environmental monitoring and public transport optimisation.

    Expansion of ITS systems has accelerated in Qatar this year, with rapid deployment of a traffic control system in Doha. Less than 10 years from now an extensive system of ITS technology will be operating in Qatar, informing and directing users of the country’s roads. That can be stated with confidence for a number of reasons: the world’s richest country per capita will host the World Cup in 2022 and is understood to be planning to develop sophisticated systems of ITS for road safety and traffic managemen
