The Traffic Management System (TMS) plays a crucial role in the efficient functioning of Transport for London (TFL). It oversees and optimizes the flow of vehicle data and communication across the network, ensuring seamless transportation services. TMS monitors real-time traffic conditions, adjusts signal timings, and helps prioritize routes for buses, trains, and other vehicles within the city.

Main Features of TMS:

  • Real-time traffic monitoring
  • Signal control and optimization
  • Priority routing for public transport
  • Incident detection and management
  • Data-driven decisions for better resource allocation

One of the core functionalities of TMS is its ability to adapt dynamically to changing traffic conditions. Through advanced algorithms, the system analyzes incoming data from sensors, cameras, and GPS devices, adjusting signals accordingly.

"The goal of TMS is not just to reduce congestion, but also to enhance safety and environmental sustainability by minimizing idle times and optimizing fuel consumption."

Key Performance Indicators:
