January the 17th, 2023 - Ericsson Nikola Tesla has been provided very ample funds from the European Union (EU) for the development of Split smart traffic software which would bring about numerous benefits.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, as you may have read previously, Ericsson Nikola Tesla contracted jobs worth more than 1.8 million euros without VAT for a project called ''The introduction of intelligent transport systems in the functional traffic area of the City of Split".
The tasks involved are related to the implementation of a Split smart traffic software solution intended for management in the control centre, as well as for informing road users. On top of that, it will also involve the delivery of a reliable communication backbone.
As part of the contract, Ericsson Nikola Tesla will establish and maintain a Split smart traffic software solution for the Dalmatian city's Traffic Control and Surveillance Centre, including the creation of an information backbone for the "Traffic Management - traffic light system and adaptive traffic management" subsystem, as well as develop and implement a mobile application (app) for the informing of road users.
The aforementioned project, commissioned by the City of Split and implemented by King ICT and Ericsson Nikola Tesla, is worth more than 9.5 million euros in total (without VAT) and is being co-financed through the EU Competitiveness and Cohesion Operational Programme 2014-2020.
The system and equipment of the aforementioned project will be integrated and implemented according to the "design and build" principle, and the expected duration of the contract is 32 months.
Thanks to its technological performance, such an intelligent transport system will contribute to the increase of traffic efficiency, safety and sustainability across the area of its implementation, as well as to the reduction of traffic congestion and the emission of harmful gases.
