Smart Journey Planning

Current Situation

Drivers are already advised of the best routes – in static or predicted conditions – between locations, using algorithms and existing GPS services. Community-based information sharing, such as via Waze, alerts other drivers about real-time traffic and road conditions, allowing drivers to change their routing as necessary if possible.

Goals and Objectives

With real-time information on road and traffic conditions, drivers can route themselves around problem areas, resulting in time and fuel savings for themselves, and from a city perspective, will help alleviate traffic congestion and in turn reduce avoidable environmental pollutants.

Technology Deployed

Mobile phones, mobile apps, GPS, connected vehicles, connected digital signage, analytics, WiFi/Bluetooth, and mobile

Use Case Summary

This technology is continuing to improve using smart technology such as connected cars, intersections, mobile apps, and real-time digital signage. Journey planning helps drivers avoid congestion, resulting in faster, easier trips and less car emissions.
