Smart City Traffic Management Solutions

The Internet of Things (IoT) makes transportation infrastructure safe and efficient with smart traffic and smart city parking management.

Reduce Traffic Congestion

As city populations and cars on the road increase, road and parking-lot congestion grow. This overcrowding increases traffic accident risks and pollution, which undermines environmental sustainability.

IoT-enabled traffic lights, road management systems and smart parking solutions transform how drivers and riders get from A to B. This transformation requires manageable IoT-connected device networks.

Smart Traffic and Parking Use Cases

Monitor and control traffic lights to reduce congestion. Smart traffic solutions can detect traffic patterns and adjust traffic signal timing to manage traffic flow. These applications help avoid widening roads or other infrastructure changes.

Identify structural issues involving bridges and roadways that could lead to traffic delays or unsafe conditions. Smart traffic management solutions help drivers and first responders avoid dangerous or under-construction areas.

Communicate parking space availability for more convenient parking. Sensors embedded in the pavement of parking lots or overhead in parking decks send parking space information to drivers’ smartphones.

Enable automatic payments for parking fees and road tolls to create greater convenience for commuters. Contactless on-street parking and transport ticketing systems make payments fast and eliminate needing correct change.

Provide convenient alternative modes of transportation, such as shared inner-city smart bikes and scooters. Multiple IoT smart traffic technologies combine to help users find and return shared personal vehicles securely.
