Orchestrated Connected Corridors are based on a single platform suite that enable digital transformation for highway and urban environments. They provide a basis for cohesive, consolidated and modular services for increased safety, mobility and sustainability, with the option to expand capabilities in the future as authorities’ needs continue to evolve. In this Kapsch TrafficCom guide, we take a tour of OCCs, and discuss what they are, how they work, and how they help authorities advance their goal of ‘zero accident’ roadways, while also supporting a range of new, value-added services for drivers.  

To make roadways safer and greener, and to improve traffic flow, many authorities around the world are beginning to test and implement Orchestrated Connected Corridor (OCC) solutions. Using connected vehicles combined with advanced data collection and processing platforms at the network edge, and in the cloud, OCCs provide real-time traffic management capabilities and insights that support a range of innovative safety and traffic mobility use cases. 

For example, OCCs make it possible to improve safety on both urban and interurban routes by supporting real-time safety applications such as C0-operative Automated Vehicles (CAV), and by communicating key safety information and warnings to drivers in their vehicles. It is also possible to use real-time traffic data from OCCs to support cross-domain traffic, tolling, and demand management applications that reduce congestion and emissions from ‘stop-start’ traffic.
