The city of Aurora, Ill., is working to spread its network of traffic signal monitoring devices that allow remote analysis of traffic patterns, according to the Aurora Beacon-News.
The system consists of high-tech traffic signals and cameras at various intersections across town. The signals send data on traffic light patterns back to City Hall, while the cameras can instantly assess the number of vehicles sitting at an intersection. Together, the devices let city traffic engineers find trouble spots and plan accordingly.
