Bergamo Situation
October 8, 2012 4
The Bergamo’s situation is not a negative exception in Italy, but it is the common “state of art” in all the country. Italy is in backwardness conditions respect to the north European countries in terms of efficient and eco-friendly transports.
No innovative and sustainable
solutions for transportspoor
Government investments
Car is an hardly replaceable key element of our city
INCREASING TRAFFIC

Traffic Management
In dense urban areas, traditional construction of new capacity is cost-prohibitive and often physically impossible
Bergamo has no a lot of opportunities to increase his capacity and physical
infrastructures
The current crisis of mobility can be solved with efficient urban planning and new technologies
applied to traffic management

Bergamo Traffic Management
Long queue and paralyzed traffic in Bergamo and the surrounded area during work days (Bergamo, Milan, Brescia)
Poor system of traffic management : .Traffic data from existing solutions are highly inaccurate..No vehicle detection monitors installed. Monitoring traffic flow from closed circuit television videos (unreliable and time-consuming task)
