📋 Tender Overview
Rostelecom optimized traffic at three intersections in Yelizovo and eliminated congestion at the entrance to the city from the airport under the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) project. Pilot tests were conducted for seven months at the intersections of Bering Street with Zavoyko, Lenin, and Ryabikova Streets. The results of the test period were summed up at an off-site meeting.
To implement the project, technical specialists installed three controllers and 11 transport detectors that collected information about the intensity and speed of vehicle traffic. Engineers analyzed traffic flows and launched adaptive traffic light control based on the "green wave" principle. Optimal cycles were calculated based on data received from the detectors. At night, traffic lights at intersections retained their previous operating mode - yellow flashing.
Alexander Safonov, Minister of Transport and Road Construction of Kamchatka Krai:
" The undoubted advantage of ITS is remote control. It is possible to quickly reduce or increase the operating time of traffic lights to regulate traffic at intersections during rush hours. In addition, traffic flow parameters are analyzed in real time, which means that the choice of modes is approached more efficiently ."
Irina Isarova, Director of Applied Projects, Kamchatka branch of Rostelecom:
" During the test period, Rostelecom adjusted the operation of traffic lights to switch them to the required algorithm and organize conflict-free traffic. This made it possible to significantly reduce the waiting time for motorists. Specialists managed the traffic situation without going to intersections. As the practice of other regions shows, the automation of road processes allows not only to form green corridors for motorists and increase the capacity of roads, but also to reduce accidents ."
According to the results of the Rostelecom project, during the evening rush hour, travel time from the ring road on Magistralnaya Street to Bering Street through pilot intersections was reduced by three times.
