OREANDA-NEWS  The government has expanded the program for the introduction of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in the regions, supplementing it with new stages, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reported on Friday.

"The decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin amended the state program "Development of the transport system". In particular, new stages of the introduction of intelligent transport systems in cities implementing these projects, as well as their main parameters, have been added to the program," the report says.

For example, in such cities, it is planned to gradually cover all public transport with information and navigation systems. With their help, people will be able to choose a convenient route and track the transport they need online.

It is also planned to connect at least 85% of traffic lights to traffic control centers. This will allow analyzing the intensity of traffic flows in order to provide drivers with an optimal mode of crossing intersections and reduce congestion.
