Urban traffic alarms

The increasing urban traffic density in the major cities of Türkiye continues to become an important problem for both individuals and city administrations. Çağrı Yüzbaşıoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ISSD, stated that there was a 5 percent increase in traffic density for 2025 and said, “Individual vehicles are increasing rapidly due to the increase in population”.

Traffic load increases in metropolitan cities

Cagri Yüzbaşıoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ISSD, said in a statement that the use of individual vehicles is rapidly widespread due to population growth in metropolises such as Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Çağrı Yüzbaşıoğlu, “Türkiye’s urban traffic, especially in big cities gives alarm. In 2025, we expect a 5 percent increase in traffic density. This situation shows that individual and public transport infrastructure should be managed more effectively,” he said.

Captainoglu, the environmental effects of the use of individual vehicles, in addition to carbon emissions, as well as the quality of stress and time that reduces the quality of life is among the serious consequences, he said.

Electric vehicles and shared systems stand out for urban traffic

Çağrı Yüzbaşıoğlu pointed out the importance of mega projects in order to reduce the traffic load and said that especially the commissioning of the new metro lines in Istanbul and the encouragement of public transportation can alleviate the intensity. Emphasizing that the effects of these projects may be limited, Yüzbaşıoğlu continued as follows: “Although new metro lines and environmental projects are important steps, we need more radical solutions to reduce the use of individual vehicles. Shared vehicle systems, promoting bicycle paths and the use of electric vehicles are critical to reduce the traffic of urban traffic.

Stating that the environmental impacts of the increasing traffic density in the predictions of 2025 will be ignored, Captainoglu said that carbon emissions may increase with heavy traffic. Captainoglu, “Developing environmentally friendly solutions in urban transportation is not a choice, no longer a necessity. Electric vehicles, zero emission zones and bicycle -friendly cities, will be the inevitable components of the future,” he said.

Common projects with city administrations alleviate traffic

Referring to the investments of ISSD in the field of technology, Yüzbaşıoğlu said that the role of smart transportation systems in traffic management has become increasingly more important. Yüz Smart Transportation Systems play a key role in the effective management of traffic density. Thanks to our solutions, we provide real -time traffic data to drivers and save time and fuel. In addition, we develop projects in cooperation with city administrations to reduce traffic density. ” He said.

“It is possible to alleviate traffic density”

Captainoglu, with the measures to be taken at the individual and institutional level, pointed out that the traffic density can be alleviated and continued: “Increased traffic density is not only a problem of infrastructure, but also a problem of management and behavior.
