Summary
The city got a live demo of a platform that monitors all 42 intersections 24/7 using cameras, probe data, and controller data, then automatically retimes signals. Data confirmed the Carlsbad Highway corridor is one of the worst in town, and the system could give emergency vehicles green lights. A purchase decision is expected next month.
