City of York Council, GB PTV Optima Real-Time Traffic Model

City officials collaborated with PTV Group on the United Kingdom's first use of real-time modeling at the local level. The platform fills in the existing system's gaps for better public messaging and intersection management. York previously relied on social media reports and CCTV footage to adjust traffic light timing. PTV Optima analyzes data from 100 traffic sensors and TomTom speed cameras to model how accidents or slowdowns impact drivers throughout the city.
