InSync dramatically improves public transportation agencies, traffic flow and communities as a whole. Learn how automating traffic signal optimization benefits traffic professionals and motorists alike.
“We got rave reviews about InSync not only from public officials, but also from motorists.”
Traffic congestion has reached a crisis point. By using InSync adaptive traffic signal technology, communities can enjoy proven benefits.
Each community using InSync annually saves up to:

Communities using InSync on their busy roads experience up to a 90:1 benefit-to-cost ratio. This means for every dollar invested in InSync, the community receives $90 in benefits like savings in time, fuel and accident-related costs.
Transportation professionals are putting an unprecedented focus on improving road safety through anti-distracted driving initiatives, “toward zero fatalities” campaigns and other similar efforts.
InSync adaptive traffic control is one of the most effective tools for improving road safety. By intelligently synchronizing traffic signals and reducing stops, InSync reduces the opportunity for conflict between vehicles and thus reduces the number of crashes. Independent data shows that InSync is responsible for a:

Global demand for gasoline is going up and so are toxic emissions. While some of the increased demand is inevitable, we can prevent the burning of millions of gallons of fuel at poorly timed traffic signals.
By intelligently giving drivers more green lights, InSync reduces fuel use and harmful emissions by 20-30%. This improves air quality and helps create healthier, more sustainable communities.
Less fuel use means less dependence on foreign oil. It also means drivers have more money to spend at local businesses.
Many InSync deployments in the U.S. are funded by public grant funding programs aimed at delivering environmental benefits.
InSync reduces traffic congestion by intelligently giving more green lights to drivers. This results in up to:

The ratio of roadway to vehicles is diminishing. In the last 50 years, the number of vehicles on U.S. roadways has increased by 344%, but capacity is not keeping pace. To simply keep pouring pavement as a solution to congestion is not sustainable.
InSync moves more vehicles through signalized intersections, freeing up existing road capacity. This enables transportation agencies to delay or eliminate the need for costly road construction projects. At a base investment of $25,000 per intersection, InSync is a cost-effective alternative to widening roads or building new roads, which costs $2-15 million per lane-mile of roadway.
While adaptive traffic control is typically considered a solution for traffic congestion on arterial corridors, public transportation agencies use InSync as a versatile toolbox for fixing a wide range of challenges.
Traffic engineers use InSync’s real-time artificial intelligence to dissolve road saturation, mitigate safety concerns, meet air quality and other environmental standards, eliminate the need for costly road construction, handle variable traffic flow due to accidents or other events, preserve historic or pedestrian-heavy areas through traffic calming projects and much more.
More U.S. agencies choose InSync than any other adaptive solution. While that’s in part due to InSync’s traffic and community benefits, it’s also due to the technology’s effectiveness as a traffic management tool. Traffic professionals rave about InSync’s ability to help them do their job and improve the overall efficiency of their organization.
InSync offers many benefits to public transportation agencies. The technology:
