North America Traffic Management Market Analyst Perspective:

Traffic control is one of the most essential technical tools for regulating traffic flow, alleviating congestion, and even lowering pollutants. Advancements in information technology, computer technology, and system science have always accompanied its success and evolution. The self-adaptive control system can alter the signal timing settings in real-time based on the manager's control aim (for example, the intersection's minimum delay) and the arrival characteristics of the traffic flow. Compared to timed control and actuated control, the self-adaptive control system can better utilize the road network's overall traffic capacity and efficiently increase traffic efficiency.

Governments across North America are focusing on improving their transportation infrastructure; the self-adaptive traffic signal system can be a useful system to adapt in the near future. For example, Canada incorporated Transportation 2030, a strategic plan for the future of transportation in Canada. Through the plan, the government is focusing on safer, greener, and more innovative transportation. Furthermore, the US government is focusing on investment in transportation infrastructure. The US law includes US$ 39 billion in additional funding to upgrade transit, as well as a five-year extension of existing transit programs as part of surface transportation renewal. In total, the new investments and reauthorization in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal provide US$ 89.9 billion in guaranteed funding for public transit over the next five years. Thus, such government initiatives to modernize the transportation system are expected to positively influence the adoption of self-adaptive traffic signal systems to modernize traffic control and boost North America traffic management market growth.
