ClearGuide helps agencies plan for busy holiday travel

In two weeks will you be ready for the busiest travel day of the year? Wednesday the 27th is sure to see record traffic volumes and delays, if the patterns from last year hold.

Let ClearGuide® analytics software help manage this and other holiday anomalies, seasonal changes, disruptions like sporting and weather events, and much more, all easily from one user interface, without the need for any sensors or other hardware in the field.

Below is a sampling of the predictive power of ClearGuide to aid engineers, planners, and other city officials in anticipating holiday delays.

This intersection in NC is always heavily trafficked. Three weeks prior to Thanksgiving 2023, delay at the intersection peaked at 3 pm just at the 100-second mark:

On the day before Thanksgiving, several new spikes well north of 100 seconds were visible, with a peak at 3 pm again, but this time at a significantly longer 127-second delay:

Below is a comparable report for three weeks prior to the upcoming 2024 holiday with, unlike last year, several delay peaks concerningly already above 100 seconds:

The above illustrates how ClearGuide Signal Trends can provide key intersection-level insights without traditional SPM or the need for communication with the traffic signal controller.

And as always, ClearGuide Roadways offers average speed and travel time estimates based on real-time and historical traffic data.

Additionally, ClearGuide Volumes leverages a unique data set of 15-minute interval probe data-based volume estimates to help agencies make even more precisely honed planning and operations decisions, as well as easily produce many new types of critical reports.
