Implementing ITU-T International Standards to shape Smart Sustainable Cities - The case of Moscow
Traffic control, smart public transport, accessibility and vehicle technology
One of the foremost challenges for large cities around the world is traffic congestion. Moscow's
intelligent traffic control system is an important element in its response to this challenge.
Moscow’s traffic system includes more than 2 000 traffic lights, 3 500 traffic detectors and 2 000
CCTV cameras. Data from these devices are transferred to the city’s Traffic Management
Centre's situation room (see Figures 12 and 13), where they can be analysed and used to help
control and manage traffic. Figure 14 shows an example of the positive results experienced in
Moscow due to active traffic management through ICTs.
