Rapid urbanisation, increased interest in smart cities and the need for planning efficient transportation system drives the need for ITPS during the forecast period.

CCTV and ANPR detection types have captured the largest market share in traffic management detection market, due to increasing traffic security concerns which have made customers focus more on detection solutions to capture traffic activities. Moreover, various real-time data can be collected through these solutions which help in predictive analysis for making various decisions on traffic congestion, accidents and emergency relief.

North America is contributing the maximum toward the traffic management system market through solutions, detections, displays, and systems. This is mainly due to the increased focus of the government, thus increasing the need for traffic management projects and various initiatives toward traffic management solutions and services. Europe and Asia-Pacific are the second and third-largest regions in terms of market size for traffic management.
