A KIMLEY-HORN SMART CITIES SOLUTION
Traction Metrics
™
Give your signal health the green light
What is Traction Metrics?
A Smart City runs on proactive traffic signal management to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Since transportation networks change minute-to-minute, agencies need real-time data and analytics to stay ahead. Traction Metrics is a transportation management solution that enables agencies to measure signal performance and implement remote troubleshooting across their entire traffic signal system.
Data types and visualizations:
Performance-based data
- Throughput
- Split failures
- Arrivals on green
- Progression ratio
- Spillback rate
- Transition time
Volume-based data
- Daily traffic volumes
- Peak throughput
Equipment measures
- Pedestrian activations
- Vehicle detector uptime
- Pedestrian pushbutton uptime
…and more!
How It Works
Using advanced automated traffic signal performance measures (ATSPM), Traction Metrics leverages big data to optimize traffic signal system management. The web-based dashboard provides real-time operations feedback so agencies can monitor individual signals, signal groups, and corridor trends; identify the root cause of network issues; and make informed decisions about how to resolve them.
Benefits
Simplify signal management:
