What are the core challenges faced by the public transport industry in relation to traffic management?

The greatest challenge nowadays is to improve road safety for all users. Speed has been identified by the World Health Organization as a key risk factor, influencing both the risk of a road crash as well as the severity of the injuries. Speed contributes to about 30% to 50% of deaths on the road. This relationship between speed and injury severity is particularly critical for vulnerable road users as pedestrians or cyclists. Therefore, an effective speed enforcement system is the most efficient way of reducing road mortality. It is even more effective when you can adapt speed levels to the conditions meaning when the risk is higher (with rain, congestion, category of vehicle..). Once the safety of the users is guaranteed, the more important thing is to improve the user experience for all users and inhabitants.

We are also convinced that we are facing a deep ecological challenge for the future. According to the UN, 68% of the world population will live in a city by 2050 including an increase in the number of vehicles, traffic flows and inevitably congestions. The challenge will be to be able to reduce congestions and noise pollution, improving traffic flows and assisting drivers.

We are very aware of these challenges and we want to be involved in this evolution by helping local communities and governments to build a safer and more eco-friendly transport offer.
