Traffic and transport Faster, safer and smarter

Keeping up with future demands

Badly managed traffic systems are the causes of much lost money, bad health and environmental problems. SymbioCity helps you ensure that future demand for transport services is compatible with lower environmental impact and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. While at the same time optimizing transport economy and your city budget. 

Improvements available through SymbioCity 

Urban traffic currently accounts for 40% of all CO₂ emissions from road transport – and for up to 70% of other road traffic pollutants.
Huge improvements are possible in this field. Here a few examples of initiatives available through our network. Contact SymbioCity for further information.

• Installing intelligent transport services (ITS), including urban traffic management and control applications, to reduce congestion and increase transport efficiency.
• Introducing driver support systems that optimize driver performance, fuel economy and road safety.
• Creating more efficient public transport with bus rapid transit (BRT) systems and dedicated bus lanes.
• Installing modern information technology that gives passengers real-time updates and travel information.
• Finding new ways to use city resources for energy and fuel as an integral part of the transport system.
• Initiating new forms of collaboration between public transport operators, urban planners and business to reduce the need for private cars and motorcycles.

Further ways to reduce carbon footprint

Legislative and policy initiatives, large-scale introduction of biofuels, environmental zoning, restricted access zones, speed limits and differentiated road pricing are further measures that can help to reduce the carbon footprint of urban transport and phase out fossil fuels.
