Traffic Management Centers (TMC)

Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) are centralized facilities where transportation agencies monitor and control traffic flow across road networks. Using cameras, sensors, and advanced communication systems, operators observe traffic conditions in real-time, identify congestion or incidents, and coordinate responses such as adjusting traffic signals, updating driver information, or dispatching responders. TMCs aim to improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance mobility by optimizing traffic flow through proactive management. They serve as the nerve center of transportation networks, integrating data and technology to ensure efficient and safe travel for all road users.
