How does the map help engineers to manage traffic?
The real-time traffic map allows traffic engineers to more readily monitor traffic conditions and identify congestion due to heavy traffic, accidents, construction, or other special events. This in turn will allow engineers to make even better use of the citys traffic computer network that allows real-time signal timing adjustments at city intersections. Engineers will use the citys recently expanded traffic camera system to help verify and assess traffic congestion identified on the map. The map will also allow traffic engineers to more quickly identify incidents and signal detection equipment malfunctions.
