The most common practice in the past – buying traffic infrastructure equipment from an external partner and taking on the entire operation – is no longer the most cost-effective solution for all communities. In many cases, it makes sense to leave the operation of a given traffic network to an expert partner. Siemens can be that partner, with specific resources and comprehensive expertise.
This model has proven itself in large cities, but may also offer significant advantages to smaller communities. For example, hosting solutions – in which the capacity of high-performance traffic systems is rented out to customers – can provide access to state-of-the-art traffic management. Siemens can also provide complete "setup-operation-maintenance" solutions.

Traffic is a major contributor to pollution, especially in congested urban areas. At the same time, it is the source of emissions most amenable to influence by public authorities. With intelligent traffic guidance, emissions can be reduced significantly and the burden on the environment can be relieved.
Siemens offers a solution in which traffic and environmental data are combined to model the total amount of pollution in an entire community. Based on this data, traffic measures are initiated that can lead to an improvement of the overall environmental situation.

Energy savings mean reduced operating costs. The use of LED technology for signaling devices in particular enables significant savings vs. conventional lighting technology. Siemens supports this eco-friendly measure with our offer of special financing plans, in which the investment volume is generally amortized by the energy savings of the following years.
