The Montana Department of Transportation is using new software and radio-based technology integrated with existing traffic management systems. The program helps coordinate traffic light times across systems, and communicates work orders and generates system overviews directly to technicians, speeding up the repair process. It also streamlines the management of the state’s various traffic management systems, allowing smaller and more remote towns to link with software that manages larger cities. The resulting data generated from the system will allow the Montana Department of Transportation to analyze the quality of service and move people more efficiently.
