The challenge

The City of Temecula received an HSIP grant to plan traffic signals for safer city streets and improve commute time. To perfect signal timing, planners needed to understand the causes and locations of current slowdowns.

Data-based solution

In a single day, engineers ingested StreetLight’s TMC analysis of 40 intersections on 4 major travel corridors segmented by day type and daypart.
The city analyzed an unprecedented amount of historical traffic data, saving them 3 months of time and significant cost.
