A new, fully digital traffic control system is being prepared by the Greek Ministry of Transportation in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Governance, aiming for the immediate and electronic recording of traffic violations across the country.

This system, named ODYSSEAS (Road Supervision and Safety Systems Service), will function as the central control center for all traffic cameras installed throughout Greece’s road network. As Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Konstantinos Kyranakis has explained, the goal is for the new technology to make roads safer.

The new center will be housed in a building of the Ministry of Transport in Nea Filadelfeia and will serve as the hub for collecting and evaluating data from cameras monitoring speed, red light violations, and other infractions.

Through the ODYSSEAS system, violations will be automatically detected and sent electronically to drivers, directly to their digital wallet, where they will have the option to pay the fine immediately through the government’s digital portal.

The plan will be included in a new bill being prepared by the two ministries and forms part of a broader strategy to modernize road monitoring and improve road safety through technology.

ODYSSEAS is expected to operate as a unified surveillance system, allowing authorities to have a real-time view of traffic, to record and confirm violations without delays, and to reduce the bureaucracy currently required for issuing and sending tickets.
