Cyprus is to introduce a central Intelligent Transport System (ITS), which will inform drivers of traffic congestion via sms, radio or digital billboards. The project, which is expected to cost in the region of US600,000 is aimed at reducing congestion, improving road safety and reducing fuel consumption on the island. The system will also notify police and hospitals of road accidents, so they can respond faster.

The goal is to have a pilot system up and running on the 32-kilometre stretch leading to the GSP Stadium on the outskirts of the capital by 2015. It is also intended to install the system between the island’s ports and airports.
