TMaaS in Trondelag, Norway
SWARCO Norway has signed a 5-year agreement with the County of Trondelag regarding TMaaS - Traffic Management as a Service. The agreement was signed in conjunction with a decision from the Norwegian Authorities that all Norwegian counties will be responsible, as of the beginning of 2020, for operation and maintenance of traffic lights on county roads. The contract is worth about 27.3 MNOK
The agreement concerns operational monitoring of signal regulation in Trondelag, which includes technical monitoring of central systems and of controllers, prioritizing public transport, data sharing, programming, correcting errors and to supply competence for changes in traffic control.
ˮDue to the reorganization of SAMS road administration, it became more favourable to take advantage of SWARCOs’ long and good experience with traffic solutions and optimization of traffic flow, instead of the county creating a whole new operation.ˮ
