Smoothing traffic flow

The economic and environmental costs of urban congestion continue to increase. In Europe, EUR 100 billion is burnt up, while traffic jams in the United States consume nearly 11 billion litres of oil. Optimising urban road infrastructures, connecting systems to communication technologies and reducing the use of individual vehicles are all ways to relieve congestion in cities.
