Smart Mobility in Action: Shymkent Leads with Intelligent Transport
In 2024, the city of Shymkent, Kazakhstan took a major step toward smarter urban mobility by deploying a citywide Intelligent Transport System (ITS) — powered by smartmicro sensor technology.
The Challenge:
Rapid urban growth and rising traffic volumes led to congestion and inefficient flow at key intersections.
The Solution:
Partnering with smartmicro, Shymkent implemented a scalable ITS, including:
- 200+ UMRR-11 Type 132 radar sensors for stop bar detection, queue length estimation, and vehicle counting
- Integration with traffic controllers for adaptive signal timing
- Real-time traffic monitoring and incident response
By the end of 2024, 244 intersections were connected — optimizing traffic flow, improving safety, and enabling faster emergency response
