German engineering and electronics conglomerate Siemens has secured a contract to supply intelligent transportation system to improve traffic flow in the city of Poznan, Poland.

Scheduled for commissioning in spring 2015, Siemens’ Sitraffic Concert will gather, evaluate and process real-time traffic data from over 200 measurement points, including intersections, parking lots and public transport.

The system will offer information on the current traffic situation and departure times of nearby public transportation, as well as speed up the flow of public transport through traffic control when required.

“The new €15m contract aims to coordinate private and public transportation in a cross-system concept in order to enhance the overall traffic situation in the city.”

All traffic information will be also transmitted to the internet, as well as being available for radio, texting, email and various transportation applications.

The contract involves the installation of 12 variable message signs in strategic locations, displaying information collected from 115 intersections in the primary road network by the traffic control centre.

The centre also measures the type, number and speed of passing vehicles at regular intervals.

Poznan, the fifth largest city in Poland with a population of more than 500,000, is experiencing rapid growth in traffic.

The latest intelligent transportation system by Siemens is expected to support further transport-related developments and improve the efficiency of public transportation in the city.

Siemens has previously implemented a wide range of projects in major Polish cities and other parts of the world, including Warsaw, Cracow, Athens, Budapest, Berlin, Reykjavik, Prague, Vienna, Innsbruck, Rome, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg and Bogota.
