  1. Howard Wilner ofSudbury, MA Explains How Smart Traffic Management helps Cities Save Money Howard Wilnerof Sudbury, MA, being an automotive expert, explains how smart traffic management has helped cities in saving money. It has helped the municipal and regional transportation departments to cope with the situation quickly and cost effectively. According to him, this system can optimize traffic flow and enhance safety by using the sensors, cameras, routers, and cellular technology to dynamically adjust control mechanisms. If daily traffic congestion has become the biggest headache of a city, smart traffic management system can work wonders. It includes the cellular systems to support smart cities in their critical disaster preparedness planning. Various Smart Cities around the world are using smart traffic management technologies to improve the overall performance of their traffic networks, with high performance, secure, redundant, and reliable communications solutions that can help streets and highways carry more traffic in greater safety.

  2. Howard Wilner of Sudbury, MA considers that Smart Traffic Management is a system where centrally controlled traffic signals and sensors regulate the flow of traffic through the city in response to demand. It prioritizes moderate traffic conditions by analyzing real-time traffic situations. Moreover, it provides congestion free traffic and improves traditional ticketing with automated E-bill payment system. It also provides the right traffic guidance through GPS and GIS and optimizes road networking systems through building Io, thus enabling quick and better communication systems. However, Howard considers the fact that the problem with these systems is that the installation time, the cost incurred for the installation and maintenance of the system is very high. Thus, a new technology called RFID is introduced which can be coupled with the existing signaling system that can act as a key to smart traffic management in real time.
