Belgrade Sitraffic Adaptive Traffic Control

Revision 2026-08-21-unsourced-text-correction · effective 2026-07-19

Current revision. This is the snapshot used by the live entity page.

unreviewed

Removed or softened wording that no listed source carries, after reading every source while preparing the claim ledger. The 26% covers travel time and stops together in one direction, and the 40% applies to Ruzveltova, not to prioritised routes generally; no source describes a delay of several years.

Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-44a51e72719bcd42 quantitative
Since 2019 Belgrade has been retrofitting its junctions
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Balkan Green Energy News is dated 30 September 2019 and reports the agreement signed that day to introduce the adaptive traffic control system in Belgrade. Kurir confirms the starting point retrospectively in 2022: the city “krajem 2019. godine potpisao ugovor za implementaciju sistema adaptibilnog upravljanja saobraćajem” (signed a contract at the end of 2019 to implement an adaptive traffic management system).
Caveat
Both sources date the contract, not the first junction actually retrofitted; neither says when work began on site.

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Balkan Green Energy News — Siemens Belgrade deal
  2. Kurir — 280 smart-signal intersections
Claim 2 clm-ef66081fd8bf4a23 descriptive
with Siemens Mobility's Sitraffic Scala adaptive control
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The Yunex Traffic country page names the product: continuous system operation monitoring and management for mobility operators is enabled through “Sitraffic Scala”, described as an “adaptive traffic control system for the city road network”. Balkan Green Energy News names Siemens Mobility as a signing party to the 2019 agreement.
Caveat
Neither source states product and vendor together: the Yunex page names Sitraffic Scala but not Siemens Mobility, while the 2019 article names Siemens Mobility but never uses the product name.

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Yunex Traffic — Serbia (operator)
  2. Balkan Green Energy News — Siemens Belgrade deal
Claim 3 clm-f488f51d67250151 descriptive
retimes signals in real time from live traffic data
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page describes an “adaptive traffic control system for the city road network” driven by “Real-time traffic data”, improving parameters including “shortened travel times, minimized number of stops, reduced exhaust emissions and urban noise pollution”.
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Claim 4 clm-ba32ab0cf0888c20 descriptive
gives trams priority
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Yunex states that “innovative technologies, including tram prioritization, are being implemented on over 300 intersections in Belgrade”. Balkan Green Energy News describes the mechanism: “The system will give trams the right of way as soon as they approach intersections.”
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Claim 5 clm-744fc7e5725c13c0 quantitative
280 of the city's roughly 650 signalised intersections were connected by late 2022
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Kurir, published 25 October 2022, carries the count in its headline: “U Beogradu već 280 raskrsnica sa pametnim semaforima” (Belgrade already has 280 intersections with smart traffic lights). The denominator comes from Balkan Green Energy News: “Belgrade currently has a total of 650 signalized intersections.”
Caveat
Kurir gives 280 as of 25 October 2022; Yunex's undated page says 'over 300'. The entry now states the sourced figure rather than 'more than 280'.

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Kurir — 280 smart-signal intersections
  2. Balkan Green Energy News — Siemens Belgrade deal
Claim 6 clm-a6ad140c2698e8ad descriptive
with the rollout continuing under Yunex Traffic
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The page is Yunex Traffic's own Serbia country page and describes the Belgrade deployment in the progressive: technologies including tram prioritisation “are being implemented on over 300 intersections in Belgrade”, so the work is presented as ongoing and delivered by Yunex Traffic, the Siemens Mobility spin-off.
Caveat
The page is undated, so it shows that Yunex Traffic presents the rollout as ongoing but fixes no point in time; it also does not describe the handover from Siemens Mobility to Yunex Traffic.

Claim 7 clm-8eb237a6526bafe6 quantitative
City analysis reported travel time and stops together in one direction of Bulevar kralja Aleksandra cut about 26%
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Kurir reports: “vreme putovanja i broj zaustavljanja u jutarnjem špicu u Bulevaru kralja Aleksandra, u smeru od Cvetkove pijace ka Tašmajdanskom parku smanjeno za čak 26 procenata” – travel time and the number of stops in the morning peak on Bulevar kralja Aleksandra, in the direction from Cvetkova pijaca towards Tašmajdan park, reduced by as much as 26 per cent.
Caveat
The source's 26% covers travel time and number of stops together, in one direction only — the entry previously attributed it to morning travel time alone.

Sources carrying this claim

  1. Kurir — 280 smart-signal intersections
Claim 8 clm-4b96554262f421c9 quantitative
tram journey times on Ruzveltova shortened by up to 40%
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Kurir reports: “U Ruzveltovoj ulici tramvajima je vreme putovanja skraćeno i do 40 odsto u proseku” – in Ruzveltova street tram journey time was shortened by up to 40 per cent on average.
Caveat
The 40% applies to Ruzveltova specifically, not to prioritised routes in general.

Claim 9 clm-19e631368d2f316d quantitative
The 322-junction rollout
Published field

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Balkan Green Energy News states the scope of phase 1: “The three-year project is to secure the adaptive traffic control system at 322 signalized intersections in Belgrade by 2021.” Kurir repeats the same figure in 2022: the contract of late 2019 covered “322 raskrsnice”.
Caveat

Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The 2019 article gives the target date and attributes it: “The three-year project is to secure the adaptive traffic control system at 322 signalized intersections in Belgrade by 2021, said Vesić.”
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Claim 11 clm-26628e3674890920 quantitative
was still well short of that count in late 2022
Published field
lesson · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Kurir shows the target missed: on 25 October 2022, nearly a year past the 2021 deadline, 280 of the contracted 322 intersections were connected. The undated Yunex Traffic page still describes the technologies as “being implemented”, so the rollout had not closed out at the time of writing.
Caveat
No source describes a delay of several years: the gap between the 2021 target and Kurir's October 2022 count of 280 is about one year.
