Improved mobility Travel is as fast, efficient and safe as possible. Traffic lights are optimized to eliminate structural traffic problems. Or to find the best compromise to allow streetcars to pass with minimum delays for auto traffic.

Cities that optimize transport modes individually limit the returns on their technology investments, since a change or incident in one mode will likely impact another. An example is a problem that shuts down a subway line, sending a big influx of riders to the closest bus.

When it comes to optimizing transportation operations, the goal is to make sure the optimization takes place across all modes, in or near real time depending on circumstances.

Full situational awareness also enables dynamic, multi-modal disaster and recovery plans

This increases the reliability and resiliency of the infrastructure, and allows for the quickest possible incident response time.

 Using the smart devices deployed across various transportation modes, smart cities use analytics to provide their transportation managers with a complete operating picture.

City decision-making capabilities are greatly improved with a central GIS. A transit system, for instance, can see efficiency gains through more intelligent scheduling and routing.
