The iconic movie \u201cThe Fifth Element\u201d showed us many futuristic innovations. Probably the most bizarre and fascinating was three-dimensional traffic in vertical megacities. Will we ever get to that state?<\/p>\n
Perhaps. But if we are ever to make the leap, we must first figure out how to effectively coordinate traffic in 2D. Given the rapid growth of transport modes and urban populations, that\u2019s already an admirable task.<\/p>\n
Traffic management systems<\/a> today are under pressure to evolve and become leaner, greener, and more connected. But what type of technology goes into designing such systems? This post provides details.<\/p>\n Once upon a time, the swing of a traffic safety baton was enough to manage a busy intersection. But with more vehicles on the road, we need smarter systems.<\/p>\n An advanced traffic management system (TMS)<\/a> is a context-aware solution that relies on real-time data from connected road infrastructure and predictive analytics to effectively coordinate traffic across city arteries.<\/p>\n Such traffic management software, coupled with wireless urban connectivity, acts as a backbone for the implementation of an intelligent transportation management system<\/a>.<\/p>\nElements of an intelligent traffic management system<\/h2>\n
