Hundreds of transportation management centres (TMCs) around North America took on a new challenge this year – how to maintain the essential services they provide, while keeping staff safe during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Many TMCs feature operators and other staff working in close proximity, sometimes even sharing desks, equipment, and other facilities, around the clock. Many of these centres, and their supporting systems, were not designed for remote operations. Even those who were able to go remote faced challenges with limited functionality or performance.

Adapting to evolving traffic patterns can be difficult. Bad weather, accidents, events, construction work, and even business openings can alter traffic for hours, days, weeks, or longer.

Traffic data collection is a key topic for cities and mobility digitalisation. It is predicted that some 70 per cent of the world’s population will live in a city by 2050. That is why cities are hurrying up to optimise population flows and provide efficient means of transport.

Our cities are becoming smarter and faster every day, and as the modern city evolves so does its transportation offerings.

The age of connected vehicles is fast becoming a reality. While it brings great promise, it also brings new challenges for those seeking to derive insights from the voluminous data each connected vehicle will transmit. Any number of transportation agencies are beginning to grapple with the challenge of monitoring the live streams of data for traffic management, and ultimately for greater safety of their roadways.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already making significant differences in day-to-day transportation management operations across the US, according to emerging technology experts at the recent virtual ITS World Congress. The panellists, brought together by Siemens Mobility’s ITS Digital Lab in Austin, Texas, encouraged transportation departments and public agencies to investigate ways AI and machine learning can make operations more efficient or help them develop and implement actionable decisions in real time.

As congestion and transportation issues continue to impact cities around the world, metropolitan areas are looking for solutions to help solve these issues. Mexico City is one of those cities wanting to solve its congestion problem by integrating a number of ITS technologies to help manage the city’s Infovial road information system.

Driver protection at railroad crossings is not foolproof. Drivers do ignore obvious warnings at crossings, endangering their safety as well as the safety of other motorists and rail operators. Railroad and traffic managers continue to add supplemental safety measures to crossings to improve safety as rail traffic becomes more complex with quiet zones and high-speed rail corridors.
