Chandler's Traffic Management Center (TMC) is at the heart of our city's efforts to maintain safe, efficient, and reliable traffic flow. Equipped with cutting‐edge technology, the TMC monitors and manages traffic signals at more than 230 intersections, supported by a network of more than 800 cameras.
This state‐of‐the‐art system allows the city to make real-time adjustments that enhance the driving experience, improve safety, and reduce congestion. Whether handling routine traffic patterns or responding swiftly to unexpected incidents, the TMC is dedicated to keeping Chandler's streets moving seamlessly.
Real‐Time Traffic Monitoring
The TMC actively monitors traffic conditions via live feeds from cameras at every signalized intersection. Our team can quickly identify and respond to any issues, from routine congestion
to unexpected incidents.
Dynamic Signal Timing
Signal timings are adjusted throughout the day to match traffic patterns, ensuring traffic lights operate efficiently during rush hours and other peak times.
Support Emergency Services
The TMC can modify traffic signals to aid emergency responders during crashes or critical events, allowing faster and safer response times.
Respond to Residents
Have you ever wondered why you were stuck at a red light for too long? The TMC team can investigate and address these issues promptly, ensuring traffic signals work optimally.
Cutting‐Edge Technology
Video Detection Cameras
Located at every signalized intersection, these cameras allow our team to monitor traffic without needing to be on‐site. They detect when vehicles are waiting at a light, ensuring timely signal changes.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
The city has recently installed advanced infrared cameras at key intersections. These dual thermal and visual imaging cameras excel at detecting vehicles and cyclists, even in challenging conditions like darkness, glare, or dust storms. This means fewer missed signal changes and a smoother traffic flow.
Fiber Optic Network
A vast network of more than 80 miles of fiber optic cables connects our traffic signals, enabling rapid communication and coordination. This infrastructure allows for real‐time signal adjustments directly from the TMC, enhancing the responsiveness of our traffic management system.
