Basel, Bankverein

At one of Basel’s most important urban intersections, trams, buses, pedestrians, cyclists and private vehicles all compete for green time. With vs | plus and vs | studio, traffic engineers can continuously refine the control strategy and respond efficiently to changing traffic demands.

The Challenge

Bankverein is a key transport hub in the city of Basel. High traffic volumes, frequent public transport services and strong pedestrian demand require signal control that remains efficient throughout the day while balancing the needs of all road users.

The Solution

The intersection is controlled using vs | plus. Traffic engineers use vs | studio to parameterize and test the intersection with vs | mate to continuously analyze and improve signal control.

Why vs | plus

The combination of vs | plus, vs | studio and vs | mate enables traffic control that is both road-user-oriented and operationally efficient. Engineers can analyse controller decisions, validate optimisation measures and refine parameters over time, helping the intersection maintain high control quality as traffic patterns change.
