The cloud-based software PTV Flows leverages Machine Learning
(ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to forecast travel times
without the need for detection hardware. Now, integrating this
Software as a Service (SaaS) tool with Centracs Mobility enables
proactive traffic signal control decisions up to one hour in
advance throughout an entire roadway network. This empowers cities
and traffic operators with unparalleled insights and control,
leading to a smoother, more efficient transportation network that
dynamically adapts to changes and improves overall traffic
management.
“The Centracs Mobility and PTV Flows integration represents a
revolutionary technological advancement in the industry,” said
Christian U. Haas, Umovity CEO. “Through the strategic convergence
of innovations and technologies between Econolite and PTV Group, we
have successfully fused PTV’s industry-leading traffic forecast
solutions, and the power of Centracs Mobility to deliver the
AI-driven capability to mitigate traffic bottlenecks before they
occur.”
Centracs-Flows is the only ATMS solution that moves traffic
signal optimization from reactive to proactive by leveraging
real-time situational awareness, travel-time predictions, and AI to
dynamically optimize traffic signal operations. Centracs Mobility’s
new traffic optimization module, known as Traffic Proactive, is
layered on top of existing capabilities for data analytics and
reporting, signal/detection management, as well as additional
optimization services. By integrating predictive capabilities into
signal timing optimization, transportation agencies can now reduce
response times to traffic incidents, save time, minimize
disruptions, and reduce persistent congestion-related delays that
negatively impact safety, commerce, and sustainable mobility.
The robust Centracs-Flows solution is highly scalable to
intersections throughout North America. To learn more about the
Centracs-Flows integration, as well as to schedule a demo of
the Traffic Proactive optimization module, follow this link:
