Real-time traffic data

Fast-track construction with dynamic, real-time traffic for ALL roads

Disruptions due to road construction are costly and frustrating for everyone. Expedite construction with better detours using real-time and historical traffic data on all your roads—no sensors needed.

Get started

Pinpoint and mitigate disruptions in construction zones with immediate insights across your entire network

Prevent the ripple effect of snarled traffic with on-demand volumes and speeds on all your roads.

1
Plan wisely

Before the build, view traffic patterns to optimize closure allowances and create data-driven detour plans.

2
Provide immediate insights

During construction, observe real-time traffic flows on old and new roads to dynamically adjust plans and build targeted public messaging about disruptions.

3
Guide confident decisions

Post-project, analyze travel patterns and generate reports to illustrate the improvements to road conditions.

Make the most efficient project decisions with validated data

Get started
Expedite construction

Reduce costs and project completion time by optimizing construction windows.

Improve work zone safety

Quickly see when and where disruptions and safety concerns are with real-time traffic information and historical data.

Plan better detours and reduce driver frustration

View common driver routes to plan and monitor usage of detours and communicate targeted messaging to the public with access to real-time traffic information.

Improve team communications

Share a consistent, reliable source of traffic data among all stakeholders to be more responsive.

Georgia DOT manages construction on a busy interchange without jamming traffic

Read case study
The challenge

GDOT needed to solve congestion on the I-285/SR 400 interchange. Traffic volume data was scarce because no physical counters existed on new roads, and many older counters were removed during construction.

Data-based solution

GDOT gained instant access to real-time traffic volumes and speeds from StreetLight on all major roads in the construction zone to advise the contractor on optimal days and times for lane closures. The team got the needed evidence to close lanes and get more work done faster without worsening congestion, which provided huge time and cost savings over the manual counts they had done in the past. GDOT knew commuters felt the difference because there were zero complaints from the public to their 511 number about traffic conditions.

Our customers

See why they chose StreetLight

The data has certainly saved time in GDOT’s ability to respond to requests for lane closures and detours submitted by the [project developer] by eliminating the need for extensive, time-consuming calculations to determine traffic volumes and speeds at various times of day. Time savings also always equate monetary savings.
Marlo Clowers
Design-Build Program Manager at GDOT
Now that we have StreetLight, we can broaden the corridor, look at alternative roadways, intersecting roadways, more details on where transit id, and we can look at the context of the whole corridor, not just little pieces one at a time.
Chuck Imbrogno
Models and Data Analysis Manager
Without StreetLight, calculating the Speed Reduction Factor would have been monumental in terms of MPO staff time and resources.

FAQs

Quick answers to questions you may have

Discover everything about the StreetLight’s Construction product features, benefits, and more.

What is real-time traffic data?

Real-time traffic data is data that is collected on how vehicles are moving right now. We offer real-time, near real, and historical data on traffic patterns to assist in maintenance of traffic planning and rapid response traffic management during construction projects. Real-time speeds and incident feeds are updated as frequently as every 3 minutes, so you get insights on how traffic patterns are changing right now.

How can real-time traffic data benefit construction projects?

StreetLight customers can use real-time traffic data to stay on top of traffic patterns (such as vehicle speeds) that impact traffic flow and safety during construction projects, enabling quicker response times to resolve traffic disruptions or safety concerns as they occur.

Real-time data can also be paired with historical data to further contextualize current conditions and assist in the planning process, helping you identify optimal lane closures, plan detours, and facilitate communication with public and private stakeholders. These advantages help shorten project timelines, reduce public complaints, and save money.

How recent is the data in the Construction product?

The Construction product dashboard includes instant always-on access to real-time and historical data. This allows practitioners to compare real-time disruptions to typical conditions, including when volumes exceed or fall below normal thresholds. For practitioners working on Active Traffic Management, we offer a continuous speed feed updated in real-time every 3 minutes.
