This edition of Solutions from Seoul features the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s (SMG) Transport Operation and Information Service (TOPIS), the “control tower” for the city’s transportation system. It gathers and processes real-time road traffic and subway train information to enable the city to efficiently manage the interval between buses, relieve congestion and take timely action in case of an accident. Solutions from Seoul is a series of knowledge products that highlights innovative ways the city of Seoul has approached urban development and policies.
