Miasto Jelenia Góra has launched a contract to design, build and commission a new Intelligent Transport System (ITS) across the city. The project is intended to strengthen public transport, improve road safety and give the municipality more control over how traffic moves through its streets, supported by an innovative Mobile Traffic Supervision Centre.
The Intelligent Transport System in Jelenia Góra contract, published on 31st March 2026, covers the full lifecycle of the programme. The selected supplier will be expected to design, construct and commission the ITS, delivering a functioning system rather than only individual components.
The notice sets three explicit objectives:
Although the high-level wording leaves technical solutions open, the structure points to an integrated urban ITS that brings together traffic control and public transport management. A notable feature is the Mobile Traffic Supervision Centre, which adds a mobile element to the more common mix of fixed roadside equipment and back-office systems.
A design-and-build structure of this kind has become standard in comparable tenders. In October 2025, Zarząd Dróg Miejskich w Gliwicach advertised the ITS System Modernization in Gliwice, explicitly combining preparation of project documentation with subsequent expansion and modernisation of the system. In November 2025, Zarząd Dróg Miejskich w Koninie followed with the Intelligent Transport System in Konin, again covering designing, constructing and commissioning a new ITS focused on low-emission public transport. In December 2025, Miejski Zarząd Dróg i Komunikacji w Radomiu issued the Intelligent Transport System in Radom notice, bundling traffic signal installation and adaptation, subsystem integration, a data transmission network and a dedicated Traffic Control Center into a single package.
Public transport features prominently in the Jelenia Góra notice, which presents the ITS as a tool for making these services more attractive, not just for easing car traffic. Other cities are pursuing the same logic: using digital systems to improve how passengers experience buses and other mass transit, while tightening operational control.
In January 2026, MUNICIPIUL BUCURESTI published the Integrated ITS System for Bucharest for the Bucharest - Ilfov region. That procurement centres on digitising public transport information and improving user experience at transport stations through digital displays and a command centre. Two months later, PRIMARIA MUNICIPIULUI ZALAU issued its ITS Systems for Public Transport tender, combining traffic and public transport management technologies with passenger information and video monitoring systems to enhance urban mobility and safety.
The focus is not limited to vehicles and stops. Several authorities are using ITS projects to support walking, cycling and parking policy. Miasto Zielona Góra’s Expansion of Zielona Góra Traffic System notice, published in March 2026, aims to boost public transport efficiency through traffic signal integration, intersection reconstruction and IT upgrades. In February 2026, Miasto Białystok’s ITS System Expansion for Urban Mobility went further by explicitly linking ITS work to promoting pedestrian and cycling traffic and introducing a parking space occupancy measurement system, including spaces reserved for disabled persons in the paid parking zone. COMUNA TUZLA’s Intelligent Traffic Management System project, dated January 2026, adds pedestrian signalling and lighting alongside a parking management system and information panels, financed through a local infrastructure fund.
Improving road safety is another central aim for Jelenia Góra. Across the region, recent contracts show municipalities pairing traffic control with surveillance and smart crossings to reduce collisions and strengthen perceptions of safety in public spaces.
In October 2025, COMUNA TEISANI launched the Intelligent Management Systems Project, which combines intelligent local management systems with a video surveillance network and electric vehicle charging stations, with the stated purpose of enhancing urban security and citizens' quality of life. Smart pedestrian infrastructure is prominent in Municipiul Gheorgheni’s ITS Infrastructure Development tender from March 2026, which specifies equipment and installation for traffic signals, smart pedestrian crossings and video surveillance systems. MUNICIPIUL TURDA’s Urban Mobility Video Surveillance System, also published in March 2026, concentrates on implementing and expanding a video surveillance system for urban mobility, supported by a Command and Control Center and associated installation services.
Other municipalities are using ITS programmes to knit traffic management into broader urban management strategies. The Urban Management System Equipment Supply procurement in ORASUL BAIA DE ARIES, published in March 2026, seeks smart passenger stations, a virtualisation server, video surveillance workstations, a unified urban management software platform and supporting ICT components. In December 2025, Miejski Zarząd Dróg w Opolu issued the Expansion and Maintenance of ITS Opole notice, covering both the extension of the existing ITS and comprehensive maintenance of old and new infrastructure. Gmina Wałbrzych - Miasto na Prawach Powiatu has taken a similar long-term view with its Sustainable Urban Mobility Development contract from December 2025, which brings together transfer centres, park-and-ride facilities, infrastructure expansion and ITS system enhancement across the Wałbrzych Agglomeration.
Within this landscape, the Mobile Traffic Supervision Centre planned for Jelenia Góra is a distinctive element. While several of the comparable contracts refer to fixed Traffic Control or Command and Control Centres, few mention mobile assets dedicated to supervision. By including one in the scope, Miasto Jelenia Góra is extending its ITS beyond static roadside and control-room equipment to include a mobile component focused on monitoring conditions around the city.
The Jelenia Góra notice itself is concise, outlining the overall design-and-build approach and the three main objectives, but not listing individual technologies or locations. Key details about system architecture, phasing, performance requirements and integration with existing infrastructure sit beyond the short summary available here.
Even so, the tender arrives as part of a clear regional wave of ITS investment, spanning greenfield systems, expansions and maintenance frameworks. How Miasto Jelenia Góra translates its high-level goals into a delivered system – balancing traffic flow, safety, public transport priority and mobile supervision – will be watched by suppliers and by neighbouring authorities planning their own next steps in intelligent transport.
