🚗 Understanding Braess's Paradox in Traffic Engineering 🚦 Did you know that adding more roads to a network can sometimes lead to increased congestion rather than relieving it? This counterintuitive outcome is known as Braess's Paradox. When a new route offers a tempting shortcut, drivers naturally shift, often creating traffic bottlenecks that slow everyone down. It's a reminder that more infrastructure isn't always the solution to congestion – sometimes, strategic planning to optimize existing networks is more effective! #TrafficEngineering #UrbanMobility #SmartCities #Transportation

#DOT Stories | State Departments of #Transportation have the enormous job of ensuring safe, efficient, and resilient transportation infrastructure statewide. Today, we're highlighting some of our favorite stories of DOTs using big data to get ahead of their state's biggest #mobility challenges. Read below to see how Georgia Department of Transportation is using real-time traffic data to minimize disruptions from #construction on one of its busiest #highway interchanges. Next, see how Caltrans used O-D and volume data to understand why trucks were cutting through residential neighborhoods, and coordinate with local agencies to keep them on safer, more efficient #freight routes. Last but not least, Nevada Department of Transportation won #NEVI funding with a data-driven grant application that will help them install equitable #EVcharging infrastructure on regional connectors throughout the state.

"If the cars we drive are continuing to get more and more technologically advanced, it’s only fitting that the roadways we travel down, as well as the transit systems we ride, do the same."

A Complete Guide to 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 - [PDF Guide] ➡ 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐃𝐅 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲: https://lnkd.in/dBsKFG4x The growth of the #road #safety market is propelled by various factors contributing to its expansion. Technological advancements, particularly in intelligent transportation systems and connected vehicle technologies, are revolutionizing road safety measures, enhancing accident prevention and traffic management capabilities. Furthermore, the increasing emphasis on data-driven insights is facilitating informed decision-making and targeted interventions to address road safety challenges effectively. Moreover, rising urbanization and smart city initiatives worldwide are driving the demand for innovative road safety solutions, creating lucrative opportunities for market players. Additionally, public-private partnerships (PPP) are playing a vital role in accelerating the deployment of #advanced road safety technologies by leveraging complementary expertise and resources. These growth factors collectively contribute to the continuous evolution and expansion of the road safety market, fostering safer and more sustainable transportation systems globally In 2023, the professional service segment held the largest market share at 81.0%, covering services like integration, installation, training, consultancy, and support. The demand for professional services has been dominating industry growth, with the managed service segment expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.9%. This growth is attributed to the growing preference for service outsourcing and the ease of business and convenience offered by outsourcing services, making them a popular choice among end customers. In 2023, Europe dominated the target market with 28.0%, largely due to advanced road infrastructure and high technology penetration. The region's strong regional presence and large end customer base contribute to market demand. Despite a lower mortality rate due to road accidents, countries are developing strategies to reduce fatalities. Initiatives and guidelines promoting road safety will maintain demand in the EU. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.6%, driven by investments in road infrastructure development and traffic discipline. Countries like China and India, with extensive roads and highways, are driving market growth. The global road safety market size was exhibited at USD 3.08 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit around USD 15.58 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 17.6% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2033.

Thank you Mariel Colman, P.E., AICP! "According to the FHWA, “Typically, a Road Diet is implemented on a roadway with a current and future average daily traffic of 25,000 or less.” In Ohio, where I live and work, of the 44,000 miles of roadways with more than three lanes, 95% have an annual average daily volume of fewer than 25,000 vehicles, and 80% are under 15,000 vehicles per day. So even by today’s engineering standards, there is no reason these roadways need so many lanes, and certainly no excuse to further widen them." ... "Multi-lane roadways with excess capacity perpetuate inequities in the United States. Their safety risks disproportionately harm Native American people, Black people, young people, older people, people with disabilities, unhoused people, and people from low-income households. These wide roadways with fast-moving traffic (and often minimal or no sidewalks) are more likely to occur in areas of poverty and low-wage employment. And people living and working there often lack political capital to successfully stop the construction or expansion of these dangerous corridors. " ... "Fast-moving, multi-lane roads aren’t actually efficient. Most traffic studies focus on capacity, meaning how to move the most people in the least amount of time. But if capacity is the goal, then why are we prioritizing the least efficient mode to accomplish that goal?" ... "Traffic forecasting is a self-fulfilling prophecy: by designing for more cars, we end up encouraging more driving. It’s a cycle based on a false assumption. More cars do not necessarily warrant more roadway space. And, crucially, more people does not necessarily mean more cars." ... "We need to change our assumptions. We’ve already proven for decades that the assumptions we feed the model will yield results in line with those assumptions. Let’s stop clinging to outdated models that assume growth equals more cars and wider roadways. Instead, we should pledge to accommodate growth with a maximum of, say, three vehicular lanes AND high-quality pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure. We can change the equation, like Colorado is doing, and change the outcomes."
