Hi. I'm here to talk about congestion, namely road congestion.

Road congestion is a pervasive phenomenon.

Whatever happens with congestion pricing and those technologies will be happening with road pricing.

And let's now look at how we can use this insight to combat road congestion.

And what congestion pricing is is that it's a technology trial and a psychological trial for something called road pricing.

And why is this going to happen? Because we're going to do congestion pricing, we are going to do road tolls, gas taxes are going to become road pricing.

We believe that this enhanced focus on improving the road and highway infrastructure in the country will not only help the development of the country but also lead to a reduction in road congestion, which will help reduce the number of accidents on the road.

So, I want to move now to the second part of my story, which is when are we going to start doing this congestion pricing? Road pricing is coming.

In London, the day they turned the congestion pricing on, there was a 25 percent decrease in congestion overnight, and that's persisted for the four years in which they've been doing congestion pricing.

You really reduce congestion quite substantially.

Now, Stockholm is a medium sized city, roughly two million people, but Stockholm also has lots of water and lots of water means lots of bridges narrow bridges, old bridges which means lots of road congestion.

The first day with the congestion charges looked like this.

This shows public support for congestion pricing of Stockholm, and you see that when congestion pricing were introduced in the beginning of Spring 2006, people were fiercely against it.

They're actually confident that they have liked congestion pricing all along.

They're relieving congestion, and they're frankly starting to save some fuel.

It s an unfortunate reality in nearly every major city road congestion, especially during rush hours. Jonas Eliasson reveals how subtly nudging just a small percentage of drivers to stay off major roads can make traffic jams a thing of the past.

The demand for parking, of course, is down, congestion and the CO2 emissions.

So, the last example of this is congestion pricing, very famously done in London.

When distributors retailers sell foreign products, inefficiencies in transport, delays, port and road congestion, excessive formalities at borders, slow and non automatized customs procedures, unnecessary inspections and excessive clearing fees contribute to making products expensive for the final consumers and delay their availability on the shelves.

So with cities, you also have congestion and pollution and disease and all these negative things.

Congestion pricing is being discussed in every major city around the world and is, again, wirelessly enabled.

If you can reduce traffic even somewhat, then congestion will go down much faster than you might think.

This is the last day with the congestion charges, July 31, and you see the same street but now it's summer, and summer in Stockholm is a very nice and light time of the year, and the first day without the congestion charges looked like this.

Traffic congestion caused by tourism can have a serious impact on local quality of life, requiring effective management solutions.

In the period of construction, it is suggested that vehicles running in the east west direction make a detour to South Second Ring Road, Tuwu Road, North Yuhanxiaoqu Road, Jida Road, Ma'anshan Road, and Jingshi Road, as well as vehicles running in the south north direction make a detour to Shungeng Road, Yuxing Road, Yingxiongshan Road and other routes.

Indeed, research programs led by defense industries have already changed our lives, giving us the jet engine, the Internet, and satellite navigation. In the future, technology developed for military aerial surveillance could have major civilian benefits for example, helping to control traffic and reduce road congestion, and assisting in the dispatch of rescue teams and humanitarian assistance.

But what happened when the congestion charges were there is not what you would expect, that people hated it more and more.

Road safety education is important for inculcating the correct mindset and road behaviour in all road users.

KB Look at the road, look at the road.

For example, lightweight, two passenger vehicles can be up to ten times more energy efficient than a typical car. In the United States, where 90 of automobiles carry one or two people, reliance on such vehicles would result in a dramatic decline in carbon emissions, which would fall even further as a result of less road congestion and smoother traffic flows.

It's a very simple sign, it says, road and road approaching.

It compiles data on road accidents and prepares annual road safety plans.

Now, congestion charges were introduced in Stockholm on January 3, 2006, and the first picture here is a picture of Stockholm, one of the typical streets, January 2.

Wrong again. It's now six and a half years ago since the congestion charges were introduced in Stockholm, and we basically have the same low traffic levels still.

We're transferring just a few little data bits when we're doing road controlling, road pricing.

The initiative is a five year, 10 million project aimed at reducing road traffic fatalities in several developing countries through targeting key road safety themes, training road safety professionals and providing seed money to support pilot programmes to improve road safety.

The Working Party on Road Traffic Safety of the Economic Commission for Europe is currently revising the consolidated resolutions on road traffic and on road signs and signals.

It may have built a road, and that road may have served a very good role.

Road traffic accidents, and road fatalities in particular, remain a chronic problem in our world today.
