Der Autoverkehr in den Grossstädten Europas ist eine der grossen Baustellen der Zukunft. Die zunehmende Verdichtung des Wohnraums in den Städten führt vielerorts zu einer Überlastung von Strassen und Parksystemen. Die intelligente Digitalisierung der Verkehrsführung ist neben vielen anderen Massnahmen eine sinnvolle Antwort darauf. Experten sprechen dabei auch von Smart Traffic. Doch was ist das eigentlich?
Im folgenden Beitrag geht es um die Potenziale und Möglichkeiten der smarten Verkehrsführung. Effizienterer Verkehr ist nicht nur ein wichtiger Baustein jeder Strategie im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Er erhöht auch die Lebensqualität in den Städten und hilft, die Schadstoffbelastung zu senken.
Smart traffic solutions that intelligently control traffic based on flow information are already a reality today. But the quality of the data is not always sufficient to actually develop "smart" solutions on this basis.
The small-scale measurement of car traffic will therefore become even more important in the coming years. Other measuring points, for example to measure bicycle or pedestrian traffic, will also be integrated into the smart city of the future.
In the future, it can also be assumed that position data provided by the vehicles themselves will be evaluated. For cities, however, this is a double-edged sword. For such information can undoubtedly be more precise than that collected at measuring points. But it is usually not complete. In addition, the municipalities make their traffic control dependent on external service providers.
When you hear the buzzword Smart Traffic the first thing that comes to mind is often autonomous vehicles and fully automated road traffic. In fact, this is a vision of the future with a lot of potential. But the revolution in this area is coming gradually. In order to make tomorrow's smart traffic a reality, the course must be set today. In particular, the automation of traffic routing in cities is central to this.
This is what the potential of smart traffic looks like:
demand-oriented traffic control
dynamic cost adjustments (parking and tolls)
dynamic cost adjustments (parking and tolls)
Reduction of pollutant emissions
Congestion on the main arterial roads in metropolitan areas is often primarily a matter of inefficient use. Measures such as dynamic signposting of detours or automatic adjustment of speed limits help to control traffic. Tolls and parking fees can also be adjusted automatically in smart systems. But to make this possible, large amounts of data and intelligent software solutions are required.
With the TAPS system, we provide one of the most advanced systems for detecting vehicle movements. The small sensors are much less complicated to install than induction coils, function independently of energy and are easy to configure on the system side. The sensors automatically establish the connection with the required gateways.

In der Schweiz sind fast 4.8 Millionen Autos immatrikuliert. Und diese riesige Menge an Fahrzeugen bewegt sich Tag für Tag durch die Strassen des Landes. Für viele Institutionen ist es wichtig, möglichst genau zu wissen, wie viele Autos wo unterwegs sind. Dafür werden regelmässig Verkehrszählungen durchgeführt.

Parkplätze sind in den Städten der Welt zu einem raren Gut geworden. Immer mehr Autos drängen durch die Strassen und suchen nach einem Abstellplatz. Das ist aus mehreren Gründen ein grosses Problem. Daher haben wir von der LTS AG mit TAPS eine praktische Lösung entwickelt. Damit lässt sich Smart Parking leicht und innovativ umsetzen.
