• Ability to monitor and react to incidents / bottlenecks but not anticipate and intervene to prevent or reduce their impact
• Lack of ability to identify and focus on critical incidents in real or better than real time and to inform stakeholders accordingly
• Wide diversity of “stovepiped” traffic management solutions that are often localised, proprietary and not interoperable
• Data flows and HMI/GUI and interfaces not tailored to the needs of specific types of users from senior level officials to individual drivers
• Lack of ability to integrate historical and real time data to enhance insight into into and analysis of traffic flow patterns over time
• Political pressure to reduce congestion, realize energy social and environmental impact, and generally improve commuter experience

Singapore Land Transit Authority
Centralize monitoring and transit arrival prediction to improve the travelers’ experience
The Need: With Singapore’s population growing, the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) needed a way to head off traffic congestion and maintain its world-class business climate.
IBM Solution:Singapore LTA can forecast traffic conditions up to 60 minutes into the future to help prevent traffic congestion before it occurs. A new bus arrival prediction system being piloted is expected to provide more accurate estimates of bus arrival times.
