Attica traffic management via KOMBOS unit

Overview

Greek Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis launched ‘KOMBOS’, a new Hellenic Police operational unit aimed at managing traffic in the Attica region. The initiative utilizes motorcycles, cameras, drones, and artificial intelligence to integrate data from 24 sources, with the goal of reducing travel times by 25% to 30%.

Following the launch, Chrysochoidis established a two-month timeline to review the effectiveness of the operation. He noted that while conditions in the city have shown slight improvements, traffic remains difficult in critical areas like Kifissos due to accidents and immobilized vehicles. He also reported that the capacity of the Traffic Police has tripled through the addition of new officers and specialized guards.
