The integration of Crowdsourced Traffic Data Analytics within the Centracs® Mobility platform marks a significant leap forward for transportation management. Specifically, this cloud-based solution allows agencies to leverage real-time roadway detection without relying solely on traditional infrastructure.

Modern transportation agencies face increasing pressure to optimize signal performance with limited physical resources. Consequently, the ability to utilize data from mobile connections and cellular devices has become a game-changer. As announced in August 2020, Centracs Mobility provides a robust architecture for aggregating various data streams. This inclusion of Crowdsourced Traffic Data Analytics ensures that even regions without extensive per-lane detection can achieve high levels of optimization. Therefore, agencies can now transition toward more agile, “infrastructure-less” data strategies.

Advantages of Crowdsourced Traffic Data Analytics

Utilizing crowdsourced information provides a more comprehensive view of the roadway network than traditional methods alone. Specifically, it enables travel time estimation and incident reporting with unprecedented accuracy. Because we are committed to providing a “one-stop-shop” experience, we ensure that these tools integrate seamlessly with existing SPM analytics. Consequently, implementing Crowdsourced Traffic Data Analytics offers several key benefits for Smart Cities:

Additionally, our software toolset allows for a direct comparison between different data sources. By toggling between traditional and crowdsourced inputs, engineers can verify the accuracy and reliability of their timing plans. Consequently, we continue to innovate and provide the most advanced ITS tools available. We invite you to see how Crowdsourced Traffic Data Analytics can set a new standard for your community’s mobility and safety goals.
