Published in November 2025, the ITS and C-ITS Solutions contract notice from MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO sets out plans for a national central C-ITS node, mobile laser scanning of traffic infrastructure and a video analytics system for vehicle movements and speed. Together, the three workstreams point to a transport network built on high-volume data, automation and analytics rather than manual observation and siloed systems.
At the core of the notice is the creation of a National Central C-ITS Node for secure communication among stakeholders. Described in these terms, the node is expected to act as a shared backbone for intelligent transport services, providing a single, secure channel through which traffic information can circulate.
For public buyers, such a node promises fewer bespoke interfaces between separate systems and a clearer view of what is happening on the roads at any given time. Instead of each project arranging its own data links, the node can offer a common platform that new applications tap into as they are deployed.
The move towards central platforms is visible in other 2025 traffic procurements. In May 2025, a contract titled National Traffic Management Center Services sought application development services and IT solutions to create an information system that centralizes data exchange among traffic management centres and relevant authorities. In October 2025, a separate project for Control Center Construction for ITS set out plans to plan, construct and maintain a control centre for monitoring and managing intelligent transport systems, including IT infrastructure, integration of management systems and operator training. And in September 2025, Statutární město Jihlava launched an Active Traffic Management System procurement for a new information system for a Central Technical Dispatching, complete with maintenance services, hardware supply and licences to enhance traffic management and monitoring.
Further upstream, in June 2025 the Dirección General de Tráfico in Spain published a prior information notice titled Specialized Technical Support for Mobility Studies, seeking highly specialised technical support to prepare studies and technical reports on mobility, ITS systems and information management for the National Traffic Management Center in Madrid. The emphasis there is on analysis and design rather than hardware, but the underlying ambition is similar: to treat traffic management as a coordinated, national-scale activity rather than a patchwork of local systems.
Seen against that backdrop, the national C-ITS node proposed by MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO is part of a broader push towards centralised, secure platforms for sharing transport data. Its success will depend not only on technology choices, but also on how participating stakeholders agree to govern access, responsibilities and change over time.
The second major component of the contract is the implementation of mobile laser scanning for traffic infrastructure data to support autonomous driving. Instead of relying solely on static surveys or manual records, vehicles equipped with scanning equipment can travel the network and capture detailed information about the road environment.
The notice links this work directly to autonomous driving, implying a level of accuracy and consistency that automated systems can rely on. High-quality, up-to-date infrastructure data can support not only advanced driver assistance but also planning, maintenance and scenario modelling inside control rooms.
Other procurements published in 2025 point in the same direction. In July 2025, Město Bílina set out a project titled 5G Telematics for Traffic Safety, aiming to implement 5G technology to enhance road traffic safety and driver awareness through traffic detectors, a digital data centre for analysis, and tools for communication and integration of traffic information. In June 2025, Brněnské komunikace a.s. signalled plans to use a 5G network for a new 5G C-ITS Service for Brno, involving roadside units and modernisation of the automatic access system so vehicle entry to the historical centre can be controlled dynamically based on traffic conditions.
At national level, Transport Infrastructure Ireland in July 2025 announced its intention to establish an Intelligent Transport Systems Equipment Supply framework, covering the supply and installation of signs, monitoring systems and communication devices. In May 2025, Správa železnic, státní organizace went to market for Traffic Information System Development, including construction and testing of a standardised pilot C-ITS system for railway and road traffic over a 5G network.
These notices all point to the same underlying requirement: if vehicles and roadside systems are to cooperate, the digital representation of the network must be rich, structured and current. The mobile laser scanning element in the MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO tender addresses that requirement head-on by proposing systematic collection of traffic infrastructure data as a foundation for more automated mobility.
The third pillar of the procurement is a video analytics system to analyse vehicle movements and speed on public roads. This moves beyond the traditional use of roadside cameras for basic monitoring, towards extracting structured information on flows and behaviour.
Video analytics systems in transport typically apply algorithms to detect and track vehicles, classify them and estimate their speed and trajectories. While the contract notice does not specify the techniques to be used, automating this kind of analysis can give operators more detailed and frequent information than manual counts or occasional surveys.
Several other tenders in 2025 show how such systems might be used. In August 2025, MUNICIPIUL MIERCUREA CIUC sought equipment and services for an Intelligent Traffic Management System that includes a video traffic monitoring system and aims to improve urban mobility, enhance safety and reduce congestion and pollution. That same month, the municipality of Alcúdia published a contract for a Video Camera System for Traffic Management combining licence plate reading, vehicle geopositioning, real-time interconnectivity and data storage on a secure cloud server.
In June 2025, Statutární město Brno launched a project for the Reconstruction of Traffic Lights, including the installation of C-ITS technology and traffic cameras, with all controllers connected to a superior traffic control centre for testing and integration. In July 2025, the city of Chemnitz set out its Digitalization of Traffic Technology project, prioritising public transport and emergency vehicles, implementing GLOSA services and upgrading infrastructure to support C-ITS communication.
Other cities are extending these ideas into wider intelligent transport schemes. Miasto Białystok, for example, plans to deliver an Expansion of ITS System for Urban Mobility to enhance urban mobility, promote pedestrian and bicycle traffic and implement a parking space occupancy measurement system. Powiat Nowomiejski intends to introduce E-public Services for Road Management, launching e-public services for road infrastructure management and traffic organisation through a comprehensive system and new equipment.
Within this context, the video analytics system envisaged by MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO sits alongside a broader trend: using cameras, sensors and software to generate continuous, machine-readable insight into how traffic behaves. Combined with a national C-ITS node and a detailed infrastructure dataset, it could allow traffic teams to focus more on interpreting patterns and designing interventions, and less on collecting and collating raw data.
Many of the 2025 procurements for intelligent transport systems focus on a single layer of the stack: traffic light control, public transport priority, tolling or passenger information. The ITS and C-ITS Solutions contract from MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO is notable for bringing together three layers at once: a national communications hub, a detailed digital survey of traffic infrastructure and an analytics platform for vehicle movements and speed.
Elsewhere, De Lijn's Traffic Light Control Project in June 2025 concentrates on implementing traffic light control using C-ITS technology, enabling priority requests for public transport and feedback integration with the Mobilidata platform. MUNICIPIUL BRASOV, in November 2025, is procuring an Integrated Information System for Tolling and transport management across four lots covering hardware, software and installation. ITS System Procurement for Sighișoara focuses on fleet monitoring, passenger information and electronic ticketing to enhance public transport efficiency, while Servei Català de Trànsit is investing in ITS Equipment Installation in Catalonia to enhance road safety and traffic management. Together, these tenders illustrate how public authorities are using digital tools to redesign how people and vehicles move.
As suppliers respond to the MINISTRSTVO ZA INFRASTRUKTURO notice, the key questions will be how open and interoperable the national node is, how the mobile laser scanning programme is structured over time, and how the video analytics platform is aligned with wider policy goals such as safety, public transport reliability or reduced pollution, as seen in other ITS projects. The answers will determine whether this contract simply modernises existing systems or lays the foundations for a more fully data-driven approach to managing the road network.
