  Case Study 3:Manchester, UK Key Focus areas under the smart city development program Smart Transport- One of the key areas of focus includes the deployment of smart transport services. At the heart of this service is DRNETIS (Dynamic Road Network Efficiency and Travel Information System). The DRNETIS solution allows the city to build a set of interventions aimed at actively changing the operation of the network, for example by changing the traffic signal sequences, or by influencing travelers through providing them with information on their planned journey and providing other alternatives. These interventions are deployed either automatically without user intervention or by giving an alert to a user who can make a decision about whether to implement it. DRENETIS enables the delivery of real -time information to travelers enabling them to make smarter choices with a greater degree of confidence on the reliability of services. The ability to receive personalized alerts and information is a significant benefit offered by the DRNETIS solution.
