What is Mobilidata?
In the Mobilidata program, governments, companies and researchers work together to bring innovative technological traffic solutions to the road user. These deliver many benefits, such as better route advice, tailored traffic notifications and smoother green lights at intelligent traffic lights. This is done with respect for the applicable privacy rules. See the video for more information on what qualitative mobility data can mean for you.
Traffic solutions
To make traffic safer, smoother, more sustainable, and more comfortable for all road users, Mobilidata developed innovative, technological traffic solutions. In consultation with various researchers and developers, Mobilidata defined 5 major categories comprising 31 traffic solutions.
Data collection and sharing forms the basis for two-way communication between intelligent road infrastructure and road users. In the course of 2023 and 2024, road users in Flanders will gradually be able to start using all applications.
Intelligent traffic lights
Existing traffic lights are being equipped with new technology which offers additional possibilities. Intelligent traffic lights react smoothly and adaptively to road users at an intersection, turning green faster or longer based on the actual traffic ahead. Connected to the cloud, data from road users, road authorities, weather stations, traffic databases, among others, are mapped and used. By the end of 2024, approximately 250 existing traffic lights will be made intelligent.
