Benefits
How does the
SMART Signal
System work?
• Pedestrian and bicycle detection system supports
proactive identification and prevention of “near miss”
situations
• Signal Synchronization controls and smooths traffic flow • Signal Control and Prioritization (SCP) to
• Reduce emergency vehicle response time
• Increase transit reliability
• Effectively manage arterial traffic during day-to day operations, major incidents on freeway, evacuations,
or major events
• Real-time monitoring of traffic conditions allows
CCTA/cities/Caltrans access to monitor all videos and
signals to optimize operations
• Connected infrastructure to support deployment of
connected and autonomous vehicles (V2X, V2I, V2P)
