Traffic Signal Management System
Traffic signal hardware is constantly evolving, but the goals of traffic signal
management remain constant—ensure progression along arterial roads, and optimize
individual signal locations based on current traffic demand.
Optimized timings also reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions, resulting
in improved air quality. Nationally, comprehensive signal retiming programs have
documented benefits of a 7-13% reduction in overall travel times, 15-37% reduction
in delays, and a 6-9% fuel savings.
MS2's web-based Traffic Signal Management System (TSMS) allows users to quickly
select any intersection within their system and display a complete range of detailed
information:
- Turning movement counts
- Photos from every approach
- Traffic simulation models
- Intersection geometry
- Approach tube counts
- Signal hardware data
- Crash statistics
- Level of service
The TSMS helps save public resources by facilitating efficient
management of traffic signal data and signal timing optimization.
