Traffic snarls are a growing menace in big cities. From Los Angeles to New Delhi, from Tokyo to Gurgaon, rising traffic congestion is an inescapable condition in large and growing metropolitan areas across the world. Peak-hour traffic congestion stems from the need for everyone to reach their destination around the same time. This naturally overloads existing roads and transit systems every day and this just keeps getting worse, in spite of attempted remedies.
Commuters are left frustrated by the ineffective steps taken by the policymakers. Very few concrete measures have been taken to tackle the traffic issues which continue to pose a significant public policy challenge.
Amidst all this chaos, Comvision has risen like a fresh beacon of hope to set new standards and carve out path breaking solutions to tackle the dreaded traffic jams in the cities. Equipped with Automatic Traffic count & Classifiers (ATCC) technology, it aims at providing the much-needed respite from snarl-ups.
Technology and traffic congestion solutions
Technology can really turn the tables on the problems of traffic congestion and eliminated it effectively. Besides providing the remote working facilities to employees, integrating smart technology with the infrastructure to ease the traffic congestion can work wonders.
Let’s see how technology can help in reducing traffic problems in cities:
Using IoT to solve problems associated with traffic
The revolutionary Internet of Things can help in utilizing the data related to traffic and infrastructure. This can go a long way in solving the perennial traffic problem and in turn can make the lives of the inhabitants better.
Smart traffic signals
There is the pioneering V21 technology traffic signals that give a better idea of traffic flow and the duration a vehicle is present at the signals.
Monitoring pedestrian traffic
Understanding and managing pedestrian traffic can also help in addressing traffic congestion. V2I technology also monitors the number of pedestrians crossing streets thereby controlling both human as well as vehicular presence on the roads.
Vehicle-sharing and multi-modal solutions
Technology has led to several vehicle-sharing and ride-hailing apps and carpool to their place of work. With many people carpooling, the number of private vehicles are going to come down significantly.
Replacing vehicles with drones
With drone technology making inroads, very soon the days of delivery by drones is not far off. drones can perform tasks such as delivering mails, couriers, bills … even pizzas instead of sending delivery guys on a vehicle leading to traffic congestion.
Comvision has introduced several technology-based steps like RFID Based CNG Kit validation for Gas filling to combat the traffic menace. No wonder Comvision has emerged as a pioneer as well as partner for many technologically advanced traffic and intelligent transport solution providers in the world.
