SK C&C has sent a team of specialists to Azerbaijan to work out paperwork for installation of Baku Intelligent Traffic Control System.
The ministry officer Sadraddin Mammadov told APA-Economics that the specialists will complete the preparation in a month.
The delegation has had meetings at the State Land and Cartography Committee, Baku Traffic Police, Interior Ministry, Communication and Information Technologies Ministry and other government agencies for discussion of the project. He added that a contest will be announced for implementation of the project as soon as the documentation is completed.
An Intelligent Traffic System involves a much closer interaction between all of its components: drivers, pedestrians, public transportation and traffic management systems. Adaptive signal systems, driver advisory and route planning and automated vehicles are some of the goals set up to increase the efficiency of actual systems.
A self-adaptive system would be able to respond quickly to the changes in the road conditions, modifying signal policies and rerouting drivers to prevent congestions.
The project is estimated to spend $50 million to $55 million. /APA-Economics/
