The adaptive software has been placed on the town’s servers, and the traffic vendor is making configuration assignments within the software for the various intersections, according to a town news release. As those configurations are being finalized, city officials have begun deploying the controllers, which are essentially the brain of the traffic signal, along the corridor.
Once the analytics cameras and controllers are deployed, the data can be collected for the corridor. Officials will train town staff on the adaptive system, according to the news release.
After the system has been initialized, it could take a full month for the system to collect enough data to begin learning the traffic patterns along the network of intersections, according to the news release. Once the system has sufficient data to learn the traffic patterns and is placed into full operation, then town officials will start making a difference in the corridor.
Once fully functioning, the system will adjust the timing of green lights to accommodate changing traffic patterns and ease traffic congestion.
