Traffic management with situational awareness

With Esri's GIS real-time traffic mapping, you can have a single integrated map view of your data—traffic, weather, incident, congestion, and construction—combined with Waze data to get the most comprehensive view of your road and highway operations. These capabilities can be used in your traffic management center and help inform the public of current road conditions in real time.

Maintain mobility in the worst conditions

Ensuring the safety and reliability of your roadways in winter weather can be a full-time job. Fortify your department with solutions for snow management. Esri's prepackaged software bundles let you monitor weather data and set up your own storm operations center. You can track and optimize your winter operations to keep your roads open and navigable in the worst weather.

Responding to natural disasters

Natural disasters are becoming more common and affect every state. From hurricanes to floods and earthquakes, quick response is critical to keeping roadways open and informing the public of damage and closed routes during emergencies. GIS gives you the tools to collect information in difficult circumstances and communicate the latest information to the public.
