Adaptive Signal Timing

A Smarter Approach to Managing City Streets

What Is Adaptive Signal Timing?

Adaptive signal timing is a key component of intelligent traffic systems, using AI to control traffic in real time by adjusting signal timing based on current road conditions. This approach allows cities to respond proactively to congestion, reducing wait times and enhancing overall road efficiency.

This solution improves pedestrian safety, reduces congestion, and enhances road traffic safety. By combining AI sensor fusion with smart sensor technologies, cities can manage traffic data more effectively to support smart city projects and advance sustainable transportation.

Key Objectives & Benefits for Your City’s Traffic Management

1
Improve traffic flow

Adaptive signal timing uses sensor data to monitor and respond to real-time traffic, ensuring smoother traffic flow and reducing congestion. This results in more efficient traffic management and reduced delays across key intersections and corridors.

2
Enhance Safety

 With radar sensors and advanced detection capabilities, signals can respond to vehicle and pedestrian movement to improve roadside safety. This proactive approach aligns with Vision Zero goals to reduce accidents and fatalities.

3
Sustainability

Adaptive signals promote a sustainable city by minimizing stop-and-go traffic, reducing emissions, and contributing to overall transportation sustainability. This supports broader smart city initiatives aimed at improving quality of life.

4
System Efficiency

By coordinating signal timings across urban areas, traffic sensor systems can optimize traffic counts and streamline traffic control management, leading to improved efficiency in traffic data collection and use.

We Drive Results

Through adaptive signal timing, we help your city reduce congestion, improve traffic flow, and enhance safety. Our solutions adjust to real-time conditions, ensuring smoother travel and a more responsive traffic network that meets the unique demands of your roads.

Traffic Management & Efficiency

Optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion in urban areas by  adjusting signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions. This enhances safety and efficiency for all road users, including vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, by accurately detecting and responding to their movements.
Safety Incident Prevention & Notifications

Improve intersection safety and reduce delays by coordinating signal timings across multiple intersections within a corridor. Ensure smooth traffic flow and minimizes congestion through adaptive signal control strategies tailored to specific traffic patterns.
Data Driven Insights & Planning

Gain insights into traffic trends and plan for future needs by leveraging real-time data from the Fusion Sensor. By analyzing travel patterns, cities can optimize infrastructure, allocate resources efficiently, and make data-driven decisions for sustainable growth.

Integration

Omnisight integrates the Fusion Sensor using SDLC, NTCIP, and Contact Closure. These methodologies ensure a seamless and efficient development and integration process for traffic management solutions.
SDLC

For NEMA TS2 controllers, Omnisight’s Fusion Sensor supports advanced stop bar detection, pedestrian presence, and zone detection via the SDLC port. This integration enhances real-time traffic flow, improves safety measures for pedestrians, and increases overall intersection responsiveness.

 
NTCIP

NTCIP is a standard that facilitates interoperability among diverse traffic control devices, ensuring seamless integration and communication between systems from various manufacturers for effective and efficient traffic management solutions.
Contact Closure

A contact closure conversion device can be used to convert detection signals from ethernet into contact closure signals for the traffic controller. The Fusion Sensor can be used with a NEMA TS1 traffic controller by installing a closure conversion device into the controller's cabinet

A Technology That Adapts to Your City’s Needs

This adaptive signal timing solution, powered by the Fusion Sensor, is essential for cities transitioning into smart cities. By supporting smart city initiatives focused on efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability, the Fusion Sensor integrates HD3D Radar and HD Video fused with AI to help traffic systems evolve and meet the demands of intelligent transportation networks. Additionally, we can manage adaptive signal timing directly on the device or through legacy systems, ensuring flexibility and seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
