GPStrafikk
GPStrafikk is a traffic management and information platform used by road authorities to monitor, analyze and influence vehicular flow in real time. It aggregates data from roadside sensors, CCTV, weather feeds and user reports to create a common view of current conditions and to support incident response, traveler information and traffic optimization. The system is designed for interoperability with other ITS components and public information channels.
GPStrafikk emerged from intelligence transportation system initiatives in the late 2000s and was designed to replace
The architecture comprises data collection, traffic state estimation and dissemination layers. Data sources include sensors, cameras,
Operations are typically centralized in traffic management centers with 24/7 coverage. Staff coordinate incident handling, congestion
In regions with dense sensor networks, GPStrafikk can reduce travel times, shorten incident durations and improve
