The project MORYNE is part of the Sixth Framework Programme 'eSafety', an initiative of the European Commission. It aims to contribute to greater transport efficiency, increased transport safety and more environmental friendly transport by improving traffic management in an urban and sub-urban area. MORYNE will provide an effective co-operative system by using public transport vehicles (e.g. buses) as elements of a network of mobile sensors communicating with the infrastructure, and by setting up co-operation between public transport operators and city traffic management. For the transmission of the sensor data an intelligent routing employs various radio systems. The use of mobile sensors, evaluating the traffic status with cameras and determining environmental conditions, offers a solution, which is more dynamic than the sensors already used and installed at fixed locations. The mobility concept requires a mobile support and a communication link between the sensors and the traffic management centres. The work within MORYNE involves four technical domains, the environmental sensors (humidity and temperature measurements) and video cameras, the image analysis, the radio communication and the traffic surveillance and management. This paper focuses on the results of the system design phase, especially the system architecture.
