Open Source Code to Jumpstart Analytics
Register for the Tuesday, September 14, 2021, 1:30 PM EDT Webinar
Is your agency a Waze® for Cities (formerly Connected Citizens Program, CCP) partner or planning to become one? Would your operators prefer automated alerts when travel times are atypical, rather than manually monitoring this free data feed? Would your agency like to implement analytics that enable traffic engineers to conduct before/after studies for road networks on-demand? Then be sure to register for this webinar featuring the following presenters:
-
Monsur Ahmed, Traffic Engineering Manager, City of Irving, Texas, will discuss how their agency used the free, open-source GitHub code developed by Lake County, Illinois, to shift operations from visual monitoring of the Waze® interface to alert-based incident detection. It took less than a day for their traffic management center (TMC) staff to implement the code. This new capability helps TMC operators spend less time monitoring the data feed, detect congestion more quickly, and adjust signal timing to improve operations in real-time.
-
Ryan Legare, TMC Manager at Lake County Division of Transportation, Illinois, will highlight how his agency uses Waze® and broader operations data to actively manage their signalized arterial roadways. He will then demonstrate how to access and use Lake County's GitHub body of code to notify operators of potential roadway incidents using data from the Waze.
