Czech City Karlovy Vary’s transit agency has unveiled a new traffic control centre and deployed an advanced intelligent transport system as it seeks to upgrade its operations.
According to Karlovy Vary Public Transport Company, the project represents a major step forward in the modernisation of traffic management and urban mobility across the city.
Traffic monitoring systems
The responsibility for operating the traffic control centre has been awarded to Invipo, which in this phase of the intelligent transport system (ITS) Karlovy Vary project has integrated and interconnected a range of public transport systems together with traffic monitoring systems covering overall road traffic in the city.
Data analytics platform Invipo reckons it monitors an average of 50 public transport vehicles simultaneously in real time, tracking their operational status as well as deviations from scheduled timetables.
The system covers 48 public transport lines and more than 650 stops. At selected transport terminals, monitoring is carried out using AI-powered cameras, which also evaluate terminal occupancy by analysing the number of passengers present.
The company reports the smart camera system used for traffic monitoring is deployed at 50 locations across the city. In addition to passenger counting at major public transport terminals, the cameras are used for vehicle detection and classification on roadways. The system also provides real-time video streams and supports the creation of snapshots as standard functionality.

Within the dispatching interface, transport operators can monitor individual services, view their real-time positions, and access additional driving parameters, including timetable adherence. Services running late or ahead of schedule are clearly highlighted using colour-coded indicators.
Traffic monitoring is further complemented by Bluetooth-based travel time measurement units supplied by partner company Cross, together with travel time analytics based on Waze data.
These systems determine the actual travel time between predefined reference points within the road network. Continuous evaluation of travel time deviations enables precise assessment of traffic performance and early identification of emerging delays.

The ITS deployment in Karlovy Vary includes monitoring of parking facilities and available parking capacity. Currently, nine parking locations are connected to the system, offering a total capacity of approximately 1,400 parking spaces.
In addition, Invipo provides up-to-date traffic information related to traffic accidents, road closures, roadworks, and other traffic-related events, contributing to improved situational awareness and more efficient traffic management throughout the city.
Incinity, based in the Czech Republic, is the producer of the software integration platform Invipo, which is designed for the administration and management of smart cities and intelligent transport systems.
