Smarter traffic management in the Netherlands

Providing Noord-Holland with Traffic
Management as a Service

GBA: Mobility | Country: The Netherlands

The province of Noord-Holland has switched to a Traffic Management as a Service (TMaaS) solution that efficiently and effectively handles traffic monitoring, data analysis, and real-time interventions. Developed by Arcadis, Trigion and Equans (as ATEam), this solution enables smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable use of Noord-Holland's extensive road network. ATEam crowd sources and collates data from more than three million users of the Dutch mobile traffic app Flitsmeister, and uses advanced tools such as intelligent traffic lights and smart cameras to quickly respond to traffic issues, for instance by managing traffic jams or prioritizing public transport. 

With our ten-year agreement in place, the province's road transport authority can now focus its efforts on infrastructure policy implementation and direction, leaving ATEam to manage day-to-day operations of complex technical systems. This strategic shift to TMaaS not only addresses a shortage of available traffic management experts, but has also led to a reduction in operating costs. Moving forward, our client will always have access to the latest, most innovative and safest technologies as we continuously improve our offering.

Traffic Management as a Service is accessible to all infrastructure asset owners, and an especially good fit for those with specific goals for maintaining traffic control, safety, sustainability and accessibility.
