As traffic planners know, one of the most important factors in smooth urban traffic flow is understanding and reacting to changes in travel time. Fortunately, new technological advances are making it easier than ever to detect and respond to these fluctuations.

The DeepBlue system uses Bluetooth, BLE and WIFI signals from a city’s transportation infrastructure to track vehicles and measure travel times. This information can then be used to create real-time maps of traffic congestion and predict delays.

As cities become smarter and more connected, tools like DeepBlue will be essential for ensuring that traffic flows as smoothly as possible.
