Moscow! The first eco-traffic light
Moscow, Tverskaya Zastava
Objective
SpetsDorProekt’s «Smart intersection» has a new function!
«SpetsDorProekt» in cooperation with the State Committee for the Development of Road Traffic Control has integrated eco-sensors into Smart Intersections, which are able to detect excess of pollutants in the air at a particular crosswalk when traffic is congested.
Solutions and results
By detecting the exceedance, the traffic light begins to turn on the pedestrian phase 15-35% more often, thereby allowing pedestrians to reduce the time they wait for the green signal to cross the road and reducing the time they inhale harmful substances.
