Intelligent traffic management

Data driven decisions for smarter traffic management

To reach a climate-positive Stockholm by 2040 we need to make transport smarter, more robust, and more sustainable. If we could plan the transportation system in a data-driven way, that would lead to much more attractive public transportation, fewer congestions, and a more sustainable city.

Here real-time data is collected and analyzed through cutting-edge technologies like AI, Edge, Lidar and radar. This provides a better understanding of traffic flows, interlinkages between systems and aims to dynamically adjust traffic lights and speed limits to help ease congestion and reduce emission.

Innovative approaches to perceived safety

There are many factors that contribute to the perceived safety, such as the interpretation of how the urban space is designed, personal and others' experiences of the risk of crime, and the experience of disorder. With the help of IoT, we can become better at continuously measuring and analyzing safety and the effects of measures taken, so that they really hit the mark.

Urban Air Mobility

Urban Air Mobility

Urban Air Mobility for smart cities

Drones can play an increasing role in a more sustainable transport system and contribute to the reduction of emissions from the transport of goods in cities. There is enormous potential for urban air mobility solutions, such as surveillance, transport of material, or in identifying traffic patterns.
We are working closely with partners in several international initiatives to ensure that Stockholm takes a leading role in identifying, testing, and developing future solutions for urban drone services.

We strengthen the local and national ecosystem by networking and sharing knowledge with cities, authorities, and the business community.
Over the next few years, we will develop tools for urban planning, evaluate potential lifting and landing sites within the city and build an ecosystem that will enable drone traffic to become an integral part of our transport systems.

Smart mobility solutions for sustainable cities

The way people and goods are moving in cities is changing, and smart digital transportation solutions are necessary to make our cities more sustainable. Autonomous vehicles can be one part of the solution and pave the way to more sustainable transportation with emerging mobility services and new travel patterns.

With a focus on public transport, we explore the possibilities of autonomous and connected vehicles in cooperation with our partners. Since our first project Autopiloten in 2016 we continue to build upon a unique collaboration between some of Sweden’s most prominent and well-known organizations within the fields of mobility and technology. Our partnerships with the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm are also important success factors that ensure that the work can be utilized and transferred into a more sustainable transport system.

We are currently in the process of deploying and testing automated 5G-connected electric minibuses for public transport.  Our main objective Is to develop and demonstrate the safe monitoring capabilities of 5G technology. By removing the driver from the vehicle, we aim to release resources for Improving public transportation services
