The document discusses plans to implement an intelligent traffic management system in the city of Skopje, Macedonia. It involves upgrading an existing Renaissance project by installing new traffic light controllers and fiber optic cables at 128 intersections, equipping a traffic management and control center, and using variable message signs and CCTV cameras. The goals are to reduce travel times, emissions, and queuing while increasing commercial speeds for public transit. Completion is expected by March 2013.
