The application developed by the SĮ “Vilniaus planas” (Municipal Enterprise “Vilniaus Planas”) displays all traffic management measures, including more than 1,400 km of Vilnius City streets (horizontal markings) and more than 60,000 vertical road signs. After a year of work, the app developed by Vilnius City Council staff allows them to assess all the traffic management measures in the city, from road signs to deceleration hills.
Now, in the system developed for them, Vilnius City Council employees can see all the road signs in the city, their location, number of the road sign, date of installation, height of the stand, condition and other objects recorded on the road (traffic lights, deceleration hills, etc.). The system allows staff to register new road signs or delete old signs that have already been removed, as well as to assess and validate the work carried out by logging on to a computer or mobile phone.
The traffic management measures depicted in the app are exceptionally accurate – street signs, their exact geographical location and other indicators have been identified using 360-degree photography. Some of the data is also available to the public, as the collected panoramic image data has been uploaded to the Mapillary platform.
One of the most accurate technologies for inventorying and displaying horizontal marking data is LiDar scanning information, which has been used to identify road markings with an accuracy of 1 cm.
Future plans are to extend the functionality of the system by adding a traffic management design environment, a signing scheme environment and the possibility for municipal staff to supervise the implementation of the order and the acceptance of the work.
