A new project to plan, construct and maintain a control centre for intelligent transport systems aims to modernise road operations, bring real‑time oversight and equip operators to run integrated tools effectively.
In October 2025, Agentsia "Patna Infrastruktura" set out plans for a control centre for intelligent transport systems, spanning planning, construction and ongoing maintenance. The scope covers the development of IT infrastructure, integration of management systems and training for control‑room staff. The move is framed as a step towards real‑time control and the modernisation of existing systems.
The notice sets out a broad but clear brief focused on capability rather than a single piece of kit. Key elements include:
The notice does not specify budget, phasing or location details beyond this high‑level scope. But the emphasis on integration, training and maintenance indicates a whole‑life approach that goes beyond a one‑off build.
Control centres are becoming the backbone of transport operations. They stitch together data from roadside equipment, vehicles and legacy systems, then present an integrated picture that supports operational decisions. By coupling construction with IT build‑out, system integration and training, the buyer sets the foundation for:
That focus reflects a wider European shift from piecemeal deployments to end‑to‑end control architectures that can absorb new sensors, analytics and service layers over time.
Across the continent, public bodies are building similar capability around central management, back‑office systems and integrated operations:
In August 2023, Technická správa komunikací hl. m. Prahy, a.s. prepared a multi‑contract rollout of C‑ITS in Prague, combining roadside units with a C‑ITS back office linked to national elements and the city’s data centre, and connections into signal controllers (link).
In November 2023, Ředitelství silnic a dálnic ČR launched comprehensive C‑ITS delivery on several motorways, pairing installation with an implementation study, integration into its C‑ITS back office and central elements, plus operation and maintenance services (link). In May 2024, the successor entity, Ředitelství silnic a dálnic s. p., advanced a second phase on the TEN‑T network with the same blend of installation, integration and maintenance (link).
In March 2024, the Junta de Castilla y León sought a central ITS management system to integrate all public transport information, supporting new concession contracts and services for the administration, operators and citizens (link).
Earlier, in June 2022, Gmina Miasto Świnoujście commissioned a citywide traffic management system delivered as design‑and‑build, bringing together subsystems for traffic control, public transport priority, parking information, driver information, video, dynamic passenger information and an online channel, with staff training built in (link).
In August 2024, Municipiul Botoșani described an integrated urban mobility centre featuring a command and control hub for traffic management, monitoring and intelligent transport solutions (link).
In October 2025, Miejski Zarząd Dróg i Komunikacji w Radomiu planned a new Intelligent Transport System with a Traffic Control Centre, traffic light reconstruction and integration for public transport priorities (link). That same month, MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO launched a three‑lot programme to establish a national central C‑ITS node, deploy mobile laser scanning for road data and develop video analytics for traffic flows (link). In Budapest, a programme published in October 2025 set out the installation of vehicle measurement sites, replacement of traffic control devices and new monitoring cameras, all tied into the central traffic management platform (link).
At city scale, Statutární město Jihlava in October 2025 combined a new information system with the build‑out of a Central Technical Dispatching Centre to monitor and manage traffic, with maintenance and hardware supply included (link).
The inclusion of operator training and maintenance is notable. Training should align with the integrated system’s user journeys, not just equipment handover. Maintenance, meanwhile, needs clear response times, spare‑parts coverage and change‑management processes so that the centre can evolve without operational disruption.
Integration is the other critical strand. The Prague and Czech motorway programmes underline how back‑office systems connect roadside units, traffic signals and national platforms. City projects in Świnoujście, Radom, Jihlava and Botoșani show how signal control, public‑transport priority, parking information, video and passenger information converge in the control room. The Spanish case in Castilla y León highlights public‑transport data integration to support service planning and concessions. The Slovenian procurement points to the next layer: advanced data capture and analytics that feed into the operational picture.
Watch for how the control centre’s integration is architected, the extent of operator training, and how maintenance is structured over the life of the system. Similar programmes across Europe suggest the centre will need to sit at the heart of an expanding ecosystem of sensors, back‑office tools and analytics. The direction is clear: one room, one view, and a platform that can grow as intelligent transport systems mature.
