Episode 31: Reducing Traffic Jams
Listen now
Description
For many drivers, traffic jams have become part of the daily routine. Accidents, construction, debris and flooding can cause roadway slow-downs and traffic snarls. SwRI’s Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) system provides a solution, offering a fast assessment of highways and roads to find detours, reduce traffic trouble spots and get drivers moving. An operator works with the system to determine the best way to get around traffic messes. Drivers get more green lights and save time. As our guest explains, ICM is just the beginning of more connected, smarter cities. Listen now as SwRI Manager Clay Weston discusses Integrated Corridor Management and how the system is mapping a new route for the future of driving.
