Smart Traffic Management: Safer and Smoother Roads
This new act establishes a program to use anonymized data for better infrastructure planning and traffic management on federal highways. The goal is to reduce congestion, improve safety, and enhance transportation efficiency, as well as enable quicker responses to emergencies. Crucially, the act places a strong emphasis on protecting citizens' data privacy.
Key points
Using anonymized data to reduce traffic jams, improve road safety, and streamline freight transport.
Better real-time management of traffic lights and lane capacity to shorten travel times.
