Florence does it the right way

GEO.works offers off-the-shelf business process management software for public agencies to facilitate internal and external coordination of traffic control activities such as construction and special events. Currently, 85 government agencies across the US and Europe use GEO.works.

The software automates the coordination of traffic management/control, allowing multiple stakeholders to review right-of-way activity requests with a collective focus on overall impacts. This ensures continuity of traffic flow for essential services, commerce, and the public.

The system automates traffic ordinance management through a paperless process. This allows the city to geographically and temporally plan all excavations, scaffolding and moving permits, integrating traffic control requirements for consistency.

GEO.works provides an up-to-date geographical dashboard to emergency services and other stakeholders, enhancing coordination and reducing traffic disruptions. However, instead of focusing solely on issuing permits, GEO.works supports city policies, mitigating the impact of permitted occupations, improving communication with residents, and preventing traffic congestion due to lack of coordination.

Florence uses this methodology, assessing the combined effects of all events, handling 12,000 requests annually.
