The City of Madison's Traffic Engineering team was recently presented Intelligent Transportation Society (ITS) of Wisconsin's 2020 Project of the Year Award. This distinction was earned for the City's Active Traffic Management System, which combines communication networks with critical software applications to manage and regulate traffic control devices via physical and virtual user interfaces. These tools allow for remote monitoring and response to traffic conditions in real time.
Key components to the City's Active Traffic Management System include:
The project was recognized for providing a relatively low cost solution to use technology and active traffic management to reduce congestion, enhance safety, and improve the overall utility of Madison's transportation network to support continued growth of the area in a cost effective and more sustainable manner. Most recently, the system was used to actively manage signal timing at many intersections in response to changing travel demands resulting from COVID-19, such as to shorten the signal cycle length, to adjust green time based on reduced traffic demand, and to automatically bring up walk signals without the need for pedestrians and bicyclists to push a button. Not only does this system provide solutions to issues that arise today, it also positions Madison to be better able to adapt to growth and technological challenges in the future.
