Innovative Traffic Management

There are a group of dedicated staff within South Dublin County Council who enthuse about traffic.  Yes - it may be the curse of some peoples existence however these staff work tirelessly and constantly strive to make improvements to the county’s road networks and consequential improvements in commuters quality of life.

The work of the traffic management centre is just one event which will run during innovation week (October 14th - 20th, 2009).  At this event you will be able to visit the traffic management centre in South Dublin County Council and experience at first hand the innovations which our staff are using to make improvements in traffic congestion around the county.  Booking for this event is essential.  Further details can be found on www.southdublininnovates.ie or booked directly by following this link.

 Apart from the internal working of the Traffic Management Centre, there are publically available online services which can be accessed which build on the work which takes place in the traffic management centre. 

For example you can go to the traffic management section of the South Dublin County Councilwebsite and view traffic cameras which are used for operational purposes live on the web.  The images which are displayed are streamed and are published in real time.  The traffic management centre staff have access to more than 50 traffic monitoring cameras located at various locations throughout the county’s road network and a selection of these are permanently broadcasting to the Internet.
