Adaptive Traffic Control

One of the key promises of Intelligent Transportation Systems is their ability to maximize flows on roadway networks. Adaptive traffic control strategies take full advantage of arterial and on-ramp signals by responding to real-time conditions and squeeze extra bits of capacity. System-wide ramp metering, coordinated signals and freeway-arterials coordination are all key components of an optimally-managed traffic corridor.

This fourth ITS luncheon workshop will focus on tools, techniques and the implementation of intelligent signal systems. Such systems are made possible by integrating traffic sensors, controller units and telecommunications networks, and layering adequate information processing rules. By hosting a panel made up of technology vendors, systems integrators and roadway operators, the workshop will allow participants to hear about current projects and trends.

As always, both the panel and the participants will strike a balance between public sector and private sector representatives. On-site participants will be offered a sponsored lunch and an opportunity to mingle with peers, and remote participation will be made possible by an online broadcast.
