CITS - Copenhagen Intelligent Traffic Solutions
The CITS project is an innovative smart city project to improve traffic flow.
The CITS project is an innovative smart city project to improve traffic flow, reduce emissions and increase safety for the citizens. The objective of the system is to enable city officials to both monitor traffic conditions in real time and also run a variety of simulations.
A dashboard can help categorise traffic, look for patterns and identify long term behavioural tendencies amongst the road users. It can also allow for gathering insight into correlation’s between traffic conditions and other influences like weather, roadworks or special events etc.
The CITS platform draws data from a network of wifi access points that have the capability of geo locating wifi enabled devices on the streets without compromising privacy. The data is aggregated, anonymised and then fed back into a cloud based software dashboard.
