The possibility of developing innovative technologies in urban traffic

Povećanje motornih vozila u urbanim gradovima dovelo je do zagušenja prometnica, onečišćenja zraka, povećanog broja prometnih nesreća i ogromne društvene potrošnje. Primjena naprednih tehnologija i sustava kao što su inteligentni transportni sustavi (ITS) najefikasnija su rješenja gradskih urbanih problema. Inovativni sustavi upravljanja prometnicama, autonomna vozila i moderna rješenja javnog gradskog prijevoza samo su neka od aktualnih trendova koji su zaživjeli na prometnicama urbanih gradova. Adekvatnim ulaganjima u najsuvremenije svjetske tehnologije i odgovarajuću infrastrukturu postigla bi se redukcija prometnih problema, doprinijelo bi lakšem gospodarskom razvoju i kolektivnom bogatstvu svake urbane zajednice. Tehnološka rješenja koja su do nedavno izgledala neostvarivo, sada postaju stvarnost i jasno je da će se njihov puni potencijal vidjeti u skorijoj budućnosti.The increasingly high number of motor vehicles in cities around the world has resulted in air pollution, overcrowded roads, frequent car accidents and higher social cost. The most effective solution for urban areas facing these problems is the implementation of advanced technological systems, particularly the intelligent transport system or ITS. City roads have already been transformed by some more recent trends, such as self-driving vehicles, innovative systems for road management, and various modern solutions to public transportation. By investing in such trends and in the latest technology, as well as making sure infrastructure is compatible, it is possible to decrease the number of road related problems and support the economic development of urban areas. Full potential of these systems will be visible in the near future when their successful implementation becomes reality, increasing the wellbeing of every urban community
