The municipality of Quito is investing US$30 million in a bid to improve transit in the city.
The city has also replaced 6,000 old traffic signals and installed almost nine kilometers of fibre optic cable, together with 1,700 cameras. A mobility management centre has been opened, which will monitor traffic and manage the new traffic signal system currently installed at 312 intersections. The city hopes to control up to 600 intersections by late 2014.
The management centre will monitor traffic and pedestrian flow in the city, as well as new variable message signs installed throughout the city, in tunnels and on the waterway. Centre operators will be able to change traffic signals to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
The system is expected to be fully operational by the end of March 2014.
