CENTRAL TEXAS USING CONNECTED VEHICLE TECH IN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority has partnered with Waycare to use real-time data from connected vehicles and advanced roadway sensors to expedite the detection of traffic incidents and improve response and clearance times.

Waycare’s system uses machine learning and AI to immediately alert the Mobility Authority’s traffic management center personnel of potential crashes and hazards. They are then able to verify these incidents before notifying emergency responders and drivers through tools such as Waze and Twitter. The Mobility Authority and Waycare are also working on a project to send travel alerts directly back to connected vehicles.
