The intelligent transport system of Moscow is one of the most important components of Smart City. In Moscow, these are more than two thousand traffic lights, three and a half thousand traffic monitoring detectors and two thousand video surveillance cameras. Data from them goes to the situation center of the data center, where they are analyzed in real time, which helps to manage the situation on the roads. In the future, this information allows the data center to make a forecast of the road situation, if it is planned to block the street, introduce one-way traffic or open a dedicated lane for buses and trolleybuses.
More than 160 electronic displays on the main highways of the city promptly inform drivers about the weather, estimated travel time (for example, to the Moscow Ring Road or the Third Transport Ring) and traffic congestion. They also display information about a motion constraint or overlap. With the introduction of an intelligent transport system, the number of accidents on the roads of Moscow decreased by almost half. And the average speed has increased by 13 percent, despite the fact that there are much more cars.
The Center for Traffic Management (TsODD) and the Department of Transport and Communications of the city of Moscow have been developing ITS since 2011. ITS consists of two models - static and dynamic.
Static model
The static transport model was created to predict the options for changing the road situation for a long period.
STM takes into account the following introductory:
- the population of the city;
- the population of the district;
- the age of the inhabitants;
- gender of residents;
- social status;
- employment of the population.
STM algorithms divide each area into transport sections. To study the activity and time of movement of people from one area to another, to clean up the volume of flow, Big Data analysis technologies and sociological surveys are used.
Dynamic model
The dynamic transport model (DTM) tracks many parameters, such as:
- speed and intensity of traffic flows;
- movement of public transport;
- Accident by the degree of significance;
- locations of social facilities;
- road closures.
In addition, using DTM, it is possible to monitor the operation of mobile photo and video recording complexes, etc.
DTM uses data from GLONASS sensors, cameras, transport detectors. The DTM is responsible for the control of traffic lights, analysis of accident foci, etc.
The situation center is an important element of the IT of Moscow.
The Situation Center is responsible for:
- traffic light control;
- control of television viewing cameras;
- monitoring of traffic conditions;
- visual informing of road users;
- photo and video recording of violations.

Moscow data center buys displays for weather display and parking spaces for 3.6 billion rubles
On November 11, 2025, it became known that in Moscow, the Traffic Management Center (DPC) plans to install 140 new information display boards (TOI) along city roads. On electronic boards, among other things, it is planned to post data on changes in weather conditions and the number of empty spaces in intercepting parking lots.
According to Kommersant, the Moscow data center is holding a tender in the amount of 3.6 billion rubles. to find a contractor who will install new installations. There are 500 TOIs in the city, including 160 small-sized displays on the Moscow Ring Road for broadcasting emergency messages. The displays show up-to-date information about the situation on the roads: alerts about accidents, current repair activities, traffic intensity and the predicted duration of the trip.
New TOIs will receive advanced capabilities. The data center said that in the future, information boards, in addition to automatic notifications of incidents and traffic congestion, will display data on the nearest intercepting parking lots, including the number of available places. It is envisaged to expand interaction with urban infrastructure to create combined routes.
It is also planned to demonstrate service notifications about large-scale events, such as football matches or concerts, which affect the transport situation. In such cases, recommendations for choosing alternative routes of movement will appear on the scoreboard.
According to Kommersant, the installation of new scoreboards is scheduled for 2025-2027 on the main city highways, followed by connection to the Intelligent Transport System of Moscow. The data center clarified that most of the existing TOIs comply with modern standards and will remain in operation, but some of the outdated equipment will be dismantled.[1]
Mosgortrans has introduced an AI system for automatic assignment of drivers to routes
Moscow City Transport (Mosgortrans) has introduced a new system for automatically assigning drivers to routes using artificial intelligence.

Smart traffic lights, cameras and traffic sensors: how the intelligent transport system of the Moscow data center works
In Moscow, the development of the intellectual transport system of the Center for Traffic Management (DPC) continues. It combines smart traffic lights, sensors, cameras, intersections with the ability to adapt to the current situation and other elements. The peculiarities of the functioning of the platform are described in the materials of the Department of Transport and the Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the city of Moscow, published on August 5, 2024.
It is reported that in order to improve the safety and efficiency of road traffic, the data center uses new technologies and constantly introduces non-standard solutions. For example, multifunctional road cameras are installed on the Moscow Ring Road, which can distinguish between 13 types of incidents, including fire and access to the roadway. Employees of the situation center quickly respond to congestion and traffic accidents, optimizing the operation of traffic lights. The intelligent transport system uses a huge database, collecting and processing information about all traffic in the Russian capital.
ByAs of the beginning of August 2024, there are more than 60 thousand traffic lights, 3.8 thousand photo and video recording cameras, over 800 information boards and 3.9 thousand traffic sensors in Moscow. Operators regulate traffic flows, monitor infrastructure and make forecasts based on big data. Equipment exclusively of domestic production is used. The intelligent traffic light control system helps to regulate traffic, improve capacity and improve street safety. In the event of accidents or any incidents, the specialists of the data center situation center can intervene in the operation of the devices.
| Traffic lights help prevent accidents, make the streets safe for motorists, pedestrians and urban transport. There are more than 60 thousand traffic lights in Moscow, there are also smart intersections and devices with different phases for traffic participants. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to reduce accidents on the roads of the capital, "says Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport. |
It is noted that metropolitan traffic lights can work in three modes: local, coordinated and adaptive. In the first case, the devices function according to a pre-laid scenario independently of each other - for example, in the morning and in the evening. In coordinated control mode, traffic lights are interconnected and act synchronously to allow the required number of vehicles to pass through and maintain the required intensity in certain areas, including departure highways. In adaptive mode, the devices, based on incoming data, independently determine the road situation and optimize their work to ensure maximum efficiency. Information comes from induction loops or sensors mounted in asphalt at the intersection. Such detectors are installed at a depth of 15 cm, when replacing asphalt, they are not damaged and provide 99.9% of transport detection.
By August 2024, there are 600 smart intersections in Moscow. Some sites have pedestrian traffic lights that warn people on the zebra that a car may appear due to a turn. This model helps reduce the risk of a vehicle hitting a person. In addition, the data center introduces a new format of traffic lights with a combined phase: a white signal with a pedestrian image and a turn arrow is transferred to the yellow light section. In conventional devices, it is located separately, under the green signal. Smart intersections are adjusting to public transport, including a green light for buses and trams.[2]
Unmanned trams and artificial intelligence. Moscow approved a transport strategy with digital technologies until 2030
One of the main tasks of the development of the transport system in Moscow is the use of artificial intelligence technologies. In particular, it is planned to introduce unmanned trams. This is stated in the program for the development of Moscow transport until 2030, approved in mid-February 2024.
As of the end of 2023, a number of projects at the base were implemented in the Russian capital. AI This is, in particular, the Sphere system for recognizing biometric data at transport infrastructure facilities. There is a recording of incidents on the city's highways based on AI. In addition, a service has been introduced to pay for face recognition travel.
Until 2030, it is planned to develop the infrastructure of unmanned trams. The emergence of such public transport is expected to reduce the number of non-punctual flights by 27%, as well as reduce the number of passengers traveling in congested cars by 8%. In addition, it is estimated that the number of complaints about aggressive driving will decrease by 73%.
By 2030, in Moscow, 100% of the ground route network will be updated automatically using predictive analytics based on AI. At the same time, over 85% of intersections will be equipped with video detectors based on neural networks.
| Moscow is already a center for the development of unmanned vehicles, and in the future it will become an absolute leader, - says the website of the mayor of the Russian capital Sergei Sobyanin. |
In the future, payment for travel on biometrics will continue to develop and appear in all types of Moscow transport. In addition, artificial intelligence will be used to manage the intelligent transport system and parking rates. The main part of the capital's transport fleet will be modern Russian-made electric models - from taxi cars to suburban trains.[3]
Moscow Mayor's Office buys HPE DSS for 665 million rubles for the development of the transport system
At the end of March 2024, the Moscow Mayor's Office announced a tender for the purchase of data storage systems from the American company Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). In total, it is planned to purchase 8 pieces of equipment for 665 million rubles. Read more here.
2023: Moscow began to install control systems for automated tram arrows
In Moscow, they began to install control systems for automated tram shooters. This was announced on August 1, 2023 by the deputy mayor of the city on transport issues Maxim Liksutov.
According to him, 30 cabinets of the control system for automated tram shooters were placed on Mira Avenue, in the districts of Bogorodskoye, Metrogorodok, Cheryomushki, etc. In the future, the control system is planned to be installed on all shooters that help the tram turn in the desired direction.
It is noted that it is planned to equip the trams themselves with a smart system, it will automatically determine the route number and transfer arrows over the radio channel. The direction of rotation will be displayed on the screen in the driver's cab.
| Today, almost all tram arrows work in automatic mode, but are transferred by the driver from the cab using a button. In the future, the direction of the tram will change without the participation of the driver. This is an important step in modernizing the entire infrastructure, which became possible with the transition of the capital's tram network under the control of Mosmetro, - said Maxim Liksutov on August 1, 2023, adding that such a technological solution will allow this type of transport to travel faster and make traffic even safer. |
According to him, in the future, tram drivers will not be distracted from the road - switching the switch will occur automatically. Until the end of 2025, it is planned to gradually provide all arrows with a "smart" control system.
| This is one of the important steps towards modernizing the entire tram infrastructure, which will allow trams to travel faster and make traffic even safer. We support domestic mechanical engineering and introduce only the most modern technologies of Russian manufacturers, - added the Deputy Mayor of Moscow.[4] |

Systems for monitoring passenger traffic and searching for stowaways will appear in Moscow buses
On December 13, 2019 , it became known that Mosgortrans would purchase from the companies Maxima Telecom (operator of the WiFi network in the metro Moscow and) St. Petersburg and Itelma (developer of automotive components, previously began to supply Mosgortrans with driver assistance systems) solutions to control passenger traffic and identify stowaways in buses.
Since 2015, Moscow authorities have been buying data on the movements of citizens from mobile operators - media
information technology Moscow Since 2015, the Department (DIT) has been buying data from mobile operators on the movement of citizens in the movement of their SIM cards. As they write in March 2019, "" Sheets geoanalytics cost the capital's authorities 516 million, rubles including 101.8 million rubles in 2018. Data processing and storage is carried out by the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation. The terms of reference on the public procurement website refers to impersonal statistical data of people.
The reports cover Moscow and the Moscow region. The territory is divided into sections 500 by 500 m, where a known number of people live (spend the night) and work (spend the day). If a person moves around the city, it is believed that he has a traveling job, if a person enters the region on weekdays and leaves it, he is considered a labor migrant. The operator informs the authorities how many summer residents in the region who spend a lot of time outside the city on weekends and holidays, as well as tourists who are in the region for a short time and do not work. Officials also receive data on movements on public transport.
DIT transfers operator data to the Moscow General Plan Institute for individual projects. So, they were used during the revision of the Moscow railway junction and Moscow central diameters in 2017-2018, as well as during the development of the transport infrastructure of the Trinity and Novomoskovsky districts of Moscow. The data of operators about the townspeople revolutionized transport planning and made it possible to abandon expensive and very approximate models that have been used for decades, Mikhail Blinkin, director of the Institute of Transport at the Higher School of Economics, told the publication.

2011: Start of ITS implementation in Moscow
In April 2011, it became known that the Government of Sergei Sobyanin began to introduce an intelligent transport system in Moscow, which should relieve the city from traffic jams[5].
"Sitronics" won a competition for the development of an intellectual transport system (ITS), several businessmen working in the field of transport told Vedomosti. This information was confirmed by a senior official of the mayor's office and vice-president of Sitronics Irina Lanina. By the end of 2011, the company will develop the concept of ITS and create a single traffic control center, a source close to it said.
Financing
6.257 billion rubles will be allocated from the budget for the implementation of ITS in 2011, according to the Moscow transport program. "Sitronics" will receive this money at the end of 2011, when it will already complete the work, the interlocutors say. "Sheets
A source close to the mayor's office says that Sitronics will modernize the existing Start traffic light control system (new traffic lights, detectors, video recording systems will be purchased) and a public transport control system (it will equip Mosgortrans rolling stock with navigators). "If you call a spade a spade, so far we are talking only about modernizing the existing system," says Alexander Ovanesov, partner at Strategy Partners.
The contract with Moscow is comparable in volume to the quarterly revenue of Sitronics. Cooperation "Sitronics" with Moscow began to develop only recently, says Lanina. Until now, the company had, in fact, only one large Moscow contract - with the metro for the supply of contactless travel cards (for about $100 million).
The largest international companies were not invited to the auction, complains a top manager of the International Road Consortium (unites developers of systems and software for the transport sector - Singapore AA Traffic, French STI and British Verrus). The competition was closed, participants had to have permits from the FSO, the FSB to work with government highways, says a source close to the mayor's office. The official of the mayor's office recalls that the structure of AFK Sistema - Navigation and Information Systems - was preparing a feasibility study for one of the main components of the new transport system - a single dispatch center for passenger transport management, and is also the federal operator of the Glonass system, necessary for its operation.
Expected Project Results
Due to the introduction of an intelligent transport system, transport delays will decrease by 10%; throughput will increase from 5 to 15%, average speed - by 17%; travel time will be reduced by 15-20%, promised in the draft Moscow transport program.
In May 2011, CJSC Sitronics-KASU and NIS GLONASS"" signed an agreement for the implementation of the project "Creation of an intelligent transport system of the city" Moscow(ITS of Moscow).
Within the framework of the agreement, NIS GLONASS will take part in the design of the key and fundamental part of the structure of the IT of Moscow - the Unified Dispatch Center for Passenger Transport Management (EDC).
Specialists of the Federal Network Operator will also create zonal control centers, equip Moscow passenger transport with multifunctional navigation devices and security systems.
At the end of January 2011, the Federal Network Operator developed the Technical Assignment (TA) and Feasibility Study (TEO) for the creation of the EDC and submitted them for consideration to the Department of Transport of the Government of Moscow.
The introduction of the IT of Moscow will make it possible to effectively solve the problem of traffic jams in the capital, control and manage the most complex transport nodes, and ensure the prevention of road accidents. It is planned that the Unified Dispatch Center within the framework of the IT of Moscow will be created by the end of 2011.
Satellite navigation systems are the most important part of building the ITS structure, since they alone allow you to receive the necessary data on the location of hundreds of thousands of vehicles at the same time.
The uniqueness of information of space navigation systems is in accessibility, scalability, independence and 100% reliability. The technological basis of the EDC is the domestic GNSS GLONASS.
The intelligent transport system (hereinafter referred to as ITS) is designed to effectively manage traffic flows, increase the capacity of the road network, prevent traffic congestion, reduce traffic delays, improve road safety, inform road users about the emerging traffic situation and options for the optimal route of traffic, and ensure uninterrupted movement of ground urban passenger transport.
Composition of ITS:
- system for monitoring traffic flow parameters;
- a system for informing road users;
- control system for technical means of traffic regulation and management;
- tele-scan system;
- parking space management system;
- system of photo and video recording of violations of the Traffic Rules;
- system navigation and information support based on GLONASS.
The functions of the state customer for the implementation of work on the creation of ITS are assigned to the State Treasury Institution of the city of Moscow - the Center for Traffic Management of the Moscow Government.
By the end of 2013, it is planned to carry out work on the arrangement of the road network of the city and rolling stock of ground urban passenger transport with ITS equipment in full, which will ensure:
- adaptive control of traffic lights (intersections);
- collection and analysis of data on parameters of transport flows;
- informing road users about the current situation, including the choice of options and the calculation of traffic routes;
- improving road safety;
- uninterrupted movement of ground urban passenger transport.
In 2011, a draft technical project of the IT of Moscow was developed, work began and is underway on the arrangement of the city's road network and rolling stock of ground urban passenger transport with ITS equipment, the creation of a control hardware and software complex, traffic control centers and a data processing center for the photo and video recording system.
Also in 2011, various technical solutions were worked out within the framework of the implemented pilot projects, experimental operation of equipment and software was carried out.
As a result of the work carried out today, it is possible to obtain and analyze data on traffic flow parameters from 30% of points planned for construction by the end of 2013, 72 traffic lights were introduced into the adaptive control mode (intersections) and by the end of the year there will be 85 of them, dispatching control and control of the movement of a part of the rolling stock of the State Unitary Enterprise MOSGORTRANS is carried out, within the framework of the pilot zone, the function of automated informing road users about the emerging situation is implemented, the Center for Automated Recording of Administrative Offenses in the Field of Traffic of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the State Administration MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Russia for the City (To Moscow hereinafter referred to as the CAFAP DD) operates).
