Maintain predictable traffic flow and travel reliability during major events
Monitor, manage, and evaluate traffic conditions before, during, and after games, concerts, weather and other events using real-time and historical data. No hardware required, filling coverage gaps where sensors or cameras don’t exist.
Proactively manage event traffic and closures with continuous operational visibility of your network—without any hardware
Respond to planned and unplanned traffic disruptions and their network ripple effect with real-time and historical data directly from your computer.
Replay traffic conditions from past events to identify likely bottlenecks, queue formation, spillover routes, and peak arrival/departure periods before events begin.
Track speeds, travel times, queues, and incidents in real time across all road types.
Compare event-day traffic conditions against typical conditions or prior events to evaluate recovery times, validate operational strategies, and build repeatable event playbooks.

Measuring the impact of the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift concert on congestion
Get startedTaylor Swift’s concert at Allegiant Stadium caused more traffic jams than the Super Bowl. For event operators and transportation agencies, major events put a huge tax on traffic flow especially when unplanned incidents occur.
To understand how traffic trends played out and compare the impact against other recent major events at Allegiant, StreetLight used its Traffic Monitor product, equipped with near-real-time speed and traffic activity data. This includes a time-lapse of traffic trends measured by atypical volume, speed, atypical speed, and atypical delay. Understanding these traffic patterns can help event operators study and improve traffic plans for events and construction projects to reduce congestion.
