Transportation software company LYT has unveiled key intersection performance metrics for calendar 2024, showcasing the continued success of intelligent transportation solutions and transit signal prioritisation in alleviating traffic congestion across US communities and cities.
Following a comprehensive audit of transit vehicle performance across its entire North American database of intersections, LYT reports the following significant achievements for 2024:
-
USD1,155,679 in fuel costs saved through transit signal prioritisation solutions;
-
Over 2,378 metric tons reduction in transit bus CO2 emissions;
-
18,511 hours (equivalent to 110.8 weeks) saved by reducing red light wait times for transit buses; and
-
6,892 green lights were given to emergency vehicles.
LYT harnesses artificial intelligence to manage traffic. By leveraging smart traffic light systems and cloud technology platforms, LYT’s solutions efficiently manage and predict traffic patterns, resulting in substantial cost savings and improved efficiencies for cities and individuals.
The company’s AI and machine learning algorithms process complex data and traffic trends in real-time, offering optimal routing suggestions for drivers based on current conditions. By integrating real-time routing information from all road users, LYT’s cloud-based traffic management systems optimise traffic signal timing to meet the true needs of traffic flow.
“These remarkable results demonstrate the transformative impact of our intelligent transportation solutions,” said LYT Founder and CEO Tim Menard. “By significantly reducing wait times, fuel consumption, and emissions, we’re not just improving traffic flow; we’re enhancing the quality of life in urban areas and contributing to a more sustainable future.”
In addition to these achievements, LYT will attend the annual Transportation Research Board conference in Washington, D.C. The company looks forward to discussing its system growth throughout the US, highlighting its extensive coverage on the West Coast, expansion into the Eastern Coast, and the introduction of snow plow preemption technology in select North American cities.
