1984 Verizon is here at ITS America 2016 San Jose, on the 119 Sensys Networks booth, to highlight the Verizon Intelligent Traffic Management Service, a new Internet of Things (IoT) platform service for smart cities.

The solution provides high-resolution, 24/7 data for signal optimisation, congestion mitigation and performance reporting, providing up-to-date information for traffic optimisation.

Verizon’s Intelligent Traffic Management uses embedded sensors and hardware installed at intersections and other access points to gather performance data in real time, helping public transportation agencies to understand their underperforming corridors and improve throughput in a precise and quantifiable manner.

Importantly, it is available as a “software as a service” (SaaS) model, which alleviates the complexities, time and cost for agencies that typically procure and maintain their own solution. As a result, Verizon says agencies don’t have to settle for inadequate data or maintain heterogeneous solutions from multiple providers.

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort

    A new report from Juniper Research forecasts that smart city traffic management and parking projects will reduce cumulative global emissions in the order of 164 million metric tonnes of CO2 between 2014 and 2019 - equivalent to the annual emissions produced by 35 million vehicles. Not only will this benefit the environment, but it will also significantly impact the quality of city dwellers' lives, with some 700 million automobiles projected to be on city roads by 2019. The report, Smart Cities: Strategie

    David Crawford looks at the latest thinking about calculating the benefits associated with the environmental side of ITS schemes. The penny is dropping that some environmental costs “are being shifted outside the traditional bounds of evaluation methods” for ITS-based road transport projects, according to researchers at the UK University of Leeds’ Institute for Transport Studies.
