The Flemish Mobildata program started using a new cloud platform on Tuesday. This is reported by the Agency for Roads and Traffic. In the future, the platform should connect intelligent traffic lights in Flanders and thus enable information exchange with road users.
In the long term, the TLEX® (Traffic Live Exchange) platform is intended to exchange millions of road user data per minute via navigation apps with a view to better, but also safer and more environmentally friendly traffic. Flanders wants to activate about 250 intelligent traffic lights by the end of 2023. Roads and Traffic already wants to start using a number of intelligent traffic lights for the first applications this autumn.
Thanks to the smart data exchange, intelligent traffic lights will adapt to the current traffic situation and thus be less often unnecessarily red. Due to the smoother flow and less unnecessary acceleration of cars and trucks, there will also be fewer emissions, which will benefit the environment. In addition to improved green times, certain road users such as emergency and emergency services will also be given priority, allowing them to get to their destination safer and faster.
Roads and Traffic joined forces for the new system with Be-Mobile, a smart mobility service provider with headquarters in Ghent. The company develops high-tech solutions in the fields of smart mobility, traffic monitoring and management and traffic information. Be-Mobile heads the Mobildata consortium and works together with the Dutch company Monotch, the developer of the TLEX® platform.
