The Dutch province of Noord-Holland, together with nine municipal road managers, became the first public entity in the Netherlands to adopt the performance-based Traffic Management as a Service (TMaaS) developed by ATEam, a consortium formed by Arcadis together with Trigion and Equans. This unique proposition allows city and regional road managers to take control of their infrastructure assets, supporting their mobility management and asset management goals through performance-based contracting. This eliminates the need for large investments in traditional traffic management systems or recruitment initiatives.

TMaaS relieves the province’s government from having to run and maintain a tactical and operational traffic management organization, along with support facilities like operators and IT. Meanwhile, road users and residents of Noord-Holland benefit from smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable mobility solutions across the infrastructure network.

The TMaaS approach includes traffic monitoring, data analysis, and real-time interventions. Through crowd sourcing and collating data from more than 3 million Flitsmeister users—a popular Dutch mobile traffic app—our traffic management operators gain unique and invaluable insights. Advanced tools like intelligent traffic lights and smart cameras help ATEam quickly respond to traffic issues, managing congestion and prioritizing public transport.
