The Growing Problem Of Traffic

SAFETY

“In 2009, there were 5.5 million crashes and 2.2 million injuries. In 2010, the number of fatalities dropped by 3 percent but still accounted for 32,788 deaths, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA)”

​

MOBILITY

“Measured in constant 2009 dollars, the cost of congestion in urban areas rose from $24 billion in 1982 to $115 billion in 2009, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. U.S. highway users waste 4.8 billion hours a year stuck in traffic—nearly one full work week (or vacation week) for every urban traveler.”

​

​

ENVIRONMENT

​

“The total amount of wasted fuel topped 3.9 billion gallons in 2009, according to the Texas Transportation Institute, equivalent to 130 days of flow in the Alaska Pipeline.”

Future Integration

Transit Signal Priority (TSP)

  • Less wait time for mass transit

Traffic Signal Coordination (TSC)

  • Communicate with other nodes to synchronize multiple intersections
  • Allowing enhanced Movement for a cluster of cars

Machine Learning/Data Analytics

  • Save traffic data to better predict and adapt for future scenarios
