SWARCO was commissioned by the City of Budweis to install a modern urban traffic control centre for the city’s driving public (96,000 inhabitants) and its well structured public transport facilities (local buses, trolley buses, inter-city buses and trains). Due to environmental reasons, the City of Budweis also asked for a replacement of all old signals with energy saving and environmentally friendly LED technology.
