Operations teams are tasked with managing disruptions from major events, construction work, and surprise incidents. They must ensure safe work zones, while keeping traffic flowing, and making cost-effective maintenance decisions. That's why having an ongoing, network-wide view of traffic is proving invaluable to departments that previously relied on costly sensors and outdated assumptions.
Join us for a discussion with Iowa DOT and other industry experts on how StreetLight's Traffic Monitor dashboard is bringing clarity and precision to operations, while minimizing traffic disruptions and improving public outreach.
This live event will include:
-
Agencies sharing how they're using Traffic Monitor to solve thorny operations challenges
-
Examples of how you can effectively plan for lane closure scenarios and widen construction windows with the new detour tool
-
Demos of how Traffic Monitor can help with active traffic management and addressing traffic disruptions during events
