CarFlow York

Get a green light speed advise while approaching an intelligent intersection in the City of York.

City of York Council green-light in-car speed advice service by SWARCO. CarFlow York improves air quality, road user safety and reduces unnecessary stop-start traffic at busy junctions. City of York Council are the first Local Authority in the UK to trial the CarFlow app at junctions on the A59 and A1079 roads on the outskirts of York’s city centre to help ease peak traffic in and around the city.

How does it work? CarFlow York communicates the expected behaviour of the next set of traffic lights to road users. When approaching a junction, SWARCO's FlowSense sends real-time traffic information to the app. This data is then continuously analysed and an advisory speed will appear on the driver’s in-car device giving the driver the best chance of arriving at a green light without needing to stop.
