INNOVATION:
These innovative solutions are used alongside traditional
methods and give city officials new insights into how to make
roadways more efficient and sustainable. Let’s take a look at a
few of these technologies shaping our future.
Real-Time Traffic Feedback

Cities across the United States have started utilizing Internet of
Things (IoT)-enabled sensors. These sensors are placed on roads
and public transit routes and allow anyone to go online to view
levels of traffic congestion, available parking spaces, and
locations of busses and streetcars. The Kansas City streetcar
system’s IoT sensors have helped revitalize the public transit
system as citizens know exactly where the streetcars are and
how long before they reach pickup locations.
Adaptive Traffic Signals

Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology lets automobiles
“communicate” with adaptive traffic control signals to help
cities gain better insights into traffic patterns and problems.
Cities are outfitting government vehicles with V2I devices that

relay information about individual cars’ speeds, movements,
time spent at lights, and other valuable data.This information is
giving officials insight into how long vehicles sit at idle lights, so
they can improve signal timing to make drive times more
sustainable and efficient.
V2I Safety Signals

While some states’ drivers deal with frequent roadway
congestion, others have to worry about inclement weather.
States like Wyoming have started using V2I to relay information
about hazardous weather and other obstructions to drivers
statewide. The Wyoming Department of Transit’s Connected
Vehicle Pilot Program has 75 short-range communication units
installed at critical points along their major highways, with
sensors equipped in government snowplows, patrol cruisers,
and trucks. These vehicles and sensors then relay information
about road conditions to drivers using radio, cellular, and fiber
connections to improve.
Pedestrian Tracking Systems

V2I technologies can also be used to improve safety for
pedestrians. Some cities such as Las Vegas use V2I and vision-
based data to detect vehicle and pedestrian behavior at
intersections. By tracking how many cars and pedestrians pass
through an intersection, city planners can determine how to
shift traffic flows and when to time traffic light changes. This
increases roadway efficiency and makes intersections safer to
cross for pedestrians.
How To Determine Traffic Management
A traffic management plan involves planning and controlling

the movement of people and goods within an area. This can
include stationary and moving traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and
vehicles. The goal of traffic management is to keep this
movement orderly and efficiently to minimize risk at the
workplace. A traffic management plan is a tool that helps you to
do this. A traffic management plan typically includes several
elements, such as identifying the types of traffic present,
determining the routes they will take, and putting measures to
control traffic flow in place. When developing a traffic
management plan, it is essential to consider all potential
hazards, as even minor problems can cause major disruptions if
not properly addressed.
Step1: looking at the floor plan layout and determining where

there are overhead structures
Step2: whether work is close to public areas.
Step3: Consider high traffic volumes, which can impact traffic

flow and create hazards.
Step4: Check for blind spots, as these can be areas where
accidents are more likely to occur.
User understanding
Traffic management measures aim to influence traffic flows

over the road network. However, traffic flow consists individual
road users travelling from A to B, management aims to
influence human behavior . Consequently, the effect of
management measure largely depends on the capabilities or
motivations of these road users to comply with the measures. If
designed and applied without accounting for human factors,
effective traffic management measures may not have the
intended effect.
Road traffic is ‘the accumulation of road users moving from an

origin to a destination along a road network’. So, it is people
who make up road traffic; not the vehicles they ride or drive in.
Hence, the only way of understanding, predicting and affecting
road traffic is by looking at the tasks that a road user
undertakes. About thirty years ago, the Dutch professor John
Michon developed a basic driving task model3
, which is still a good starting point today for getting a feel for
road traffic from a human perspective. The model divides the
driving task into three levels: the strategic level, the tactical
level and the control level. Traffic management mainly affects
the road users’ tasks at the strategic and tactical level.
Conclusion
Traffic Management refers to the combination of measures that

serve to preserve traffic capacity and improve the security,
safety and reliability of the overall road transport system. These
measures make use of ITS systems, services -to-day operations
that impact on road network performance.
