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.

    A new traffic management solution is attempting to bridge the gap in information available on freeways and arterial roadways. Andrew Bardin Williams reports. Agencies responsible for national networks of roads around the world have the ability to measure, analyse and disseminate accurate travel information to drivers. Millions of dollars go into data collection infrastructure to collect traffic congestion and travel time information on major freeways or highways. For example, a driver on the I-210 in the Lo
