Modern cities are unthinkable without efficient traffic management. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) make urban life more comfortable, safe, and convenient by optimizing traffic flow, reducing accidents, and cutting travel delays. In Saransk, implementing ITS became an important step toward building a Smart City.
Project background:
With a growing population and rising car ownership, Saransk’s transport system faced heavy loads, leading to traffic jams, longer travel times, and increased road safety demands. The city authorities and TrafficData specialists were tasked with finding a solution that would improve current performance while ensuring long-term sustainable infrastructure development.
Main project goals included:

With a growing population and rising car ownership, Saransk’s transport system faced heavy loads, leading to traffic jams, longer travel times, and increased road safety demands. The city authorities and TrafficData specialists were tasked with finding a solution that would improve current performance while ensuring long-term sustainable infrastructure development.
Main project goals included:
- Reducing delays and increasing travel speed through real-time traffic flow management
- Reducing the number and severity of road accidents with automated monitoring and control systems
- Real-time traffic flow monitoring and management
- Creating a unified system for data-driven decision-making
- Establishing a platform for future ITS development
Implementation stages:
- 2023 – System deployment
- Installation of 91 tactical detectors and a monitoring subsystem.
- 2024 – System expansion
- Installation of 110 strategic detectors for interjunction traffic monitoring
- Installation of 85 tactical detectors at traffic light intersections
- Deployment of an accident and emergency subsystem for automatic incident detection
- Integration with road controllers for adaptive traffic light control
Results:
- Reduced delays at intersections through adaptive traffic control
- Real-time incident detection with monitoring system
- Improved road safety via accident statistics analysis and proactive safety measures
- Creation of infrastructure for future ITS expansion and integration
