Adaptive signal control
Real-time traffic monitoring
miovision cameras
Cameras used to capture and analyze traffic patterns through video, supporting traffic studies, signal optimization, and intersection monitoring.
Costs:
Ranges from $3,000 to $37,000 depending on the system and installation, plus additional processing and service fees.
Key Considerations:
• Cameras must be installed to minimize obstructions and glare
• Availability of poles for mounting and access to power
• Proper camera height for accurate data collection
Representative Use Cases –
Detroit, MI

Field Conditions:
Ideal for collecting traffic data and monitoring conditions at intersections and along roadways. Cameras should be mounted perpendicular to the roadway, within 12 feet of the road, and have a clear, unobstructed view.
adaptive signal control
A smart traffic system that automatically adjusts signal timing in real-time based on current traffic conditions to improve flow and reduce congestion.
Costs:
Ranges from $6,000 to $60,000 per intersection, depending on the system and features.
Key Considerations:
• Accuracy and reliability of traffic detection equipment
• Resources required for setup, operations, and ongoing maintenance
• Choice of algorithm that determines signal timing adjustments
• Operational support and staff needed to manage the system
Representative Use Cases –
Mercer Street corridor, Seattle, WA
https://sdotblog.seattle.gov/2017/04/24/city-of-seattle-introduces-mercer-adaptive-signal-system-to-keep-traffic-moving/
Field Conditions:
Ideal for locations with highly variable or unpredictable traffic patterns, such as downtown street grids, tourist areas, event venues, and arterial roads with high crash rates.
real-time traffic monitoring
Technology and systems used to continuously track and manage traffic conditions in real time, helping to optimize vehicle flow and reduce congestion.
Costs:
Typically ranges from $6,000 to $50,000 per intersection, with annual maintenance costs up to approximately $8,000.
Key Considerations:
• Clearly defining the goals of the monitoring program (e.g., congestion reduction, safety improvements)
• Choosing the right tools and technologies for effective monitoring
• Setting up key performance metrics to track traffic flow and incidents
• Establishing procedures for how to respond to issues or changes in traffic conditions
Representative Use Cases –
Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Field Conditions:
•Requires a strong and reliable technological infrastructure
•Needs access to high-quality, accurate traffic data
•Depends on efficient communication networks for real-time updates
•Best suited for areas with variable and changing traffic patterns
