Real-time monitoring and communicating roadworks delays

The impact of major roadworks becomes quite pronounced when these roadworks projects hit-the-ground and are being constructed. Managing delays arising from roadworks is critical to the free flow of traffic in our busy cities. Indeed, reliable and timely information is key to the success of any traffic management campaign during roadworks construction. The detection of mobile phone signals provides a valuable opportunity to deliver reliable and consistent travel-time information in real-time for the purpose of effective traffic management during roadworks. Real-life case studies are discussed and each serves to highlight the value of using the data rich mobile signal resource for travel time monitoring to benefit our communities.
