Telematic Technologies for Transport and Traffic in Turin

To-date, 260 traffic-light-regulated intersections have been integrated in the 5T control system and this number will be increased to 330 by year 2010.
Use of the 5T system has reduced waiting time at traffic-lights, trimming motorists' total trip time by 20%.
The 5T system also offers many advantages to public vehicles which, passing through these intersections, considerably reduce their traveling times with a consequent increase in commercial speed.
TV cameras, for real-time transmission of images to the 5T System Control Room and to the Turin Traffic Police operations center, have been installed at 20 intersections in the city, permitting constant monitoring of traffic conditions.

On behalf of the City of Turin 5T has installed and also manages the Turin ZTL operations center and, with 9 electronic gates, controls the main access points to the limited traffic zone, promoting an around 50% reduction in traffic and a consequent improvement in regular transit by public vehicles.

In order to improve public transport, a service for control and application of fines in transit lanes reserved for public vehicles, based on TV cameras installed on around 450 GTT buses, is now at the start-up phase.
