Give your signal health the green light

What is Traction Metrics?

A Smart City runs on proactive traffic signal management to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Since transportation networks change minute-to-minute, agencies need real-time data and analytics to stay ahead. Traction Metrics is a transportation management solution that enables agencies to measure signal performance and implement remote troubleshooting across their entire traffic signal system.

Data types and visualizations:

Performance-based data

• Throughput
• Split failures
• Arrivals on green
• Progression ratio
• Spillback rate
• Transition time

Volume-based data

• Daily traffic volumes
• Peak throughput

Equipment measures

• Pedestrian activations
• Vehicle detector uptime
• Pedestrian pushbutton uptime
• …and more!

How It Works

Using advanced automated traffic signal performance measures (ATSPM), Traction Metrics leverages big data to optimize traffic signal system management. The web-based dashboard provides real-time operations feedback so agencies can monitor individual signals, signal groups, and corridor trends; identify the root cause of network issues; and make informed decisions about how to resolve them.

Benefits

• Simplify signal management:
  Support optimal signal performance and reliability without additional hardware, reducing field visits to save time and resources.
• Real-time signal monitoring:
  Identify and mitigate system issues rapidly with automated signal data collection and analysis to determine maintenance and repair needs.
• Increase safety:
  Use ATSPM to improve intersection safety by leveraging modern technology to reduce traffic congestion.
• Quantify impact:
  Instantly measure the impact of signal timing changes and repairs on system performance to keep stakeholders informed.
• Streamline decision making:
  Implement ATSPM data visualizations to identify trends, understand performance, and inform signal optimization decisions to improve network safety and efficiency.
