CASE STUDY

# Congestion Management Analytics Help Improve Traffic Flow and Road Safety

##### The Shreveport, Louisiana region had serious concerns about both traffic congestion and safety. Planners worked with StreetLight to gain a complete view of their regional traffic movement, discover their most serious congestion areas, and build a plan to mitigate it. Mobility analytics helped them:

- Get a comprehensive regional picture of traffic movement for all modes of transportation
- Obtain speed and volume Metrics to prioritize road segments for congestion mitigation measures
- Save time with reliable traffic Metrics and advance their Congestion Management Process (CMP)

 

##### Learn how Big Data fuels strategies for improved traffic flow, enhanced road safety, and better mobility planning, saving time and costs and using minimal internal resources.

##### “Without StreetLight’s data, calculating the Speed Reduction Factor would have been monumental in terms of MPO staff time and resources. StreetLight’s team also helped compile, attribute, and format traffic flow data in a GIS environment.”
