How can a city effectively tackle persistent traffic congestion at critical intersections? How can real-time data be used to dynamically adjust traffic light timings and improve flow? Seeking to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility, the city of Haifa, Israel, partnered with Waze for Cities. Our collaboration helped the city achieve its key objectives to:

• Identify and address critical congestion points using real-time data.
• Implement a dynamic traffic light system based on real-time traffic conditions.
• Reduce traffic congestion at targeted intersections.
• Expand successful solutions to other areas of the city.

By leveraging real-time traffic data, the city of Haifa has implemented a smart and responsive traffic management system.

Impact

By collaborating with Waze for Cities, the city of Haifa achieved significant improvements in traffic flow and congestion management. To enhance urban mobility and improve the daily lives of its citizens, the government:

• Utilized real-time Waze data to identify a critical intersection experiencing severe congestion during peak hours.
• Developed and implemented a dynamic traffic light system that automatically adjusts timings based on real-time traffic conditions.
• Achieved a 30% reduction in traffic congestion at the targeted intersection, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system.
• Expanded the successful pilot project to other intersections throughout the city, further optimizing traffic flow.
