Traffic management
|
Our traffic management operators manage and guide traffic through
receiving and providing traffic information so that travellers can
more easily choose their route, time of journey and mode of
transport to avoid traffic queues.
Information
from such sources as the cameras and sensors that monitor large
parts of the road network in Stockholm is received at the Trafik
Stockholm control room. This is also where information and reports
from the general public and our co-partners are handled. The traffic
management operators are then able to communicate with road users in
different ways. Lane signs above the carriageway can be used to
advise drivers to reduce their speed or change lane. In certain
cases a lane can be completely closed off to traffic. Other digital
information signs indicate where road works are in progress or where
there is a road closure.
Up-to-date traffic information is distributed continuously
to several different channels. |

www.trafiken.nu
is a website where information about traffic queues, disruptions,
road works and public transport in Stockholm is updated by Trafik
Stockholm. This is a result of collaboration between the Swedish
Road Administration, Stockholm City and Stockholm Transport.
Up-to-date traffic information from us is also available at
vv.se, hitta.se
and transmitted via navigation systems (RDS-TMC).

Tunnel surveillance
We also fill an important function for the safety of those driving
in the Södra länken tunnel system. 450 cameras provide our traffic
management operators with information used as a basis on which to
steer traffic or close off parts of the tunnel. This could be for
environmental reasons or to clear the way for emergency vehicles.
Trafik Stockholm also monitors the Häggvik and Muskö tunnels and
will also be responsible for this in the Norrortsleden and Norra
länken tunnels once they have been constructed.
”Road Assistance”
Should an accident nevertheless occur, we can dispatch “Road
Assistance”. In Stockholm there are four ”Road Assistance” vehicles
equipped to offer fast help at minor breakdowns, provide fuel for
empty tanks and remove traffic hazards. There is less risk of an
accident occurring if there are fewer disruptions that can cause
traffic queues. “Road Assistance” is operated in close cooperation
between the Police, the Swedish Road Administration and the City of
Stockholm.
