A newly developed toolkit from the National Laboratory of the Rockies integrates multiple sensor inputs to refine traffic signal timing and reduce congestion at intersections. By combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistical methods, the system creates a comprehensive view of roadway activity, including vehicle and pedestrian movements. This approach helps minimize unnecessary delays and improves overall traffic flow while enhancing safety by identifying potential hazards more effectively. The framework is open-source and adaptable, ensuring compatibility with various sensor technologies and preventing reliance on proprietary systems. Cities and transportation agencies can adopt this solution to streamline operations, lower costs, and create more efficient urban mobility networks. Demonstrations in Colorado Springs and Lakewood have shown promising results, suggesting broader applications for metropolitan areas seeking to optimize their traffic infrastructure. The toolkit’s digital twin capabilities further strengthen its ability to analyze and predict traffic patterns, contributing to smarter urban planning and reduced risks at intersections.
