The use case will provide methods to improve traffic management in a very crowded Iasi intersection and detect and prevent potentially dangerous situations. The use case will be deployed in the Podu Roș Intersection Area, focusing on traffic comfort and safety functions. From a comfort perspective, the traffic flow will be monitored to create predictive models and suggest intersection rules adaptation to reduce congestion. Safety will be increased, especially by protecting Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) by creating a traffic digital model capable of identifying hazardous traffic situations. In addition to a real-time dynamic mobility digital model, an air quality heat map will be created by collecting data from the IoT sensors for Environmental Monitoring.

Two additional use case enablers will be extensively trialled, thereby measuring their impact on the service performance. The first one is zero-touch management, Edge resources and services and RAN optimisations, which will be tested and validated in trialling activities along with the use case-related scenarios with traffic management and enhancements for vulnerable road users. The second one is related to the framework for designing and developing vertical applications for 5G and beyond systems, i.e., Edge Network Applications.
