Development of an intelligent transport system (ITS) for Nizhny Tagil

OBJECTIVES

To increase the appeal of using public transport for the residents of Nizhny Tagil and reduce the number of private cars on the city's roads.

2020

Initiating the project and
deploying the RITM³ digital platform

To improve the awareness of how the city's public transport operates and to ensure the necessary level of safety for passengers using public transport.

2022

Project completion and handover
of the RITM³ digital platform with
new modules for operational use

SOLUTION

The RITM³ digital platform with its core modules — "Digital Twin," "Digital Transportation Plan," and "Modeling" — was deployed on the Customer's server.

The digital platform enables the analysis of the current traffic situation and provides a short-term forecast of its development. This allows for the assessment of emerging events and facilitates a prompt response to them, taking the forecast into account.

The platform's modules allow for the analysis of events on the street and road network (such as repairs, road closures, traffic accidents, etc.) and their processing within the dispatch system.

RESULTS

In Nizhny Tagil, 27 traffic signal installations were modernized and outfitted with specialized software. The new traffic signals will be connected to the UTC (Urban Traffic Control) system, allowing transport engineers to remotely manage and adjust traffic signal timing patterns via the RITM³ digital platform interface.

The city has installed "smart" bus stops with electronic displays that are connected to the RITM³ digital platform. The displays show the estimated arrival times for public transport—trams and buses (both municipal and commercial carriers).
