New Hotspot Filters for Speeding Enforcement and Traffic Signal Warrants

New updates will further simplify customer traffic calming and traffic enforcement efforts.

New updates will further simplify customer traffic calming and traffic enforcement efforts.

Urban SDK’s new features bring powerful tools for traffic calming and speed enforcement, enabling cities to address these challenges more effectively. With the addition of Insights Layer Filters, Insights Polygon Summaries, and Improved Insights Performance, municipalities can now leverage data-driven strategies to enhance road safety and streamline enforcement efforts.

Pinpointing Hotspots with Precision

The introduction of Insights Layer Filters allows Urban SDK users to filter data on traffic speed, delay, and other key metrics above, below, or within a specific range. This feature is particularly valuable for identifying hotspots—areas where traffic speeds consistently exceed or fall below desired thresholds.

For example, if a city wants to focus on areas where speeding is a problem, officials can set a filter to show only roads where speeds exceed 30 mph, enabling them to quickly identify and prioritize these areas for traffic calming measures.

By distilling complex map data into synthesized insights, cities can make informed decisions on where to deploy resources.

Whether it’s adjusting speed limits, installing speed bumps, or increasing police presence, the ability to filter and visualize data with such precision means cities can act more strategically, ensuring that interventions are targeted and effective.

Aggregating Data for Better Decision-Making

Another game-changing feature is the Insights Polygon Summaries. This tool allows customers to draw a polygon around a specific area—such as a neighborhood, school zone, or busy intersection—and receive an aggregated summary of all relevant traffic data within that boundary.

For instance, if a customer draws a 2-mile buffer around a problematic intersection, they can obtain an overall summary of average speeds, traffic volumes, or delay times across all road segments within that area.

This aggregation of data is incredibly useful for cities aiming to understand traffic patterns over larger areas rather than individual road segments. By summarizing data across multiple links, cities can gain a comprehensive view of traffic behavior, making it easier to implement area-wide traffic calming measures or to justify changes in speed limits.

The ability to customize these summaries by applying specific filters—such as excluding highways or focusing on peak traffic periods—further enhances the tool's utility, allowing cities to tailor their analysis to the unique needs of their communities.

Enhancing User Experience

The performance enhancements to Urban SDK’s Insights platform, including improved map display and new "fly to" animations, offer users a smoother and more intuitive experience. These upgrades are not just about aesthetics; they also contribute to a more efficient workflow.

When city officials can navigate and analyze data more quickly, they can respond to traffic issues faster.

The improvements in how Insight Report Bookmarks are highlighted and displayed mean that critical information is more accessible, reducing the time needed to identify and address traffic concerns.

Refreshed User Interface

One of the most noticeable changes in this update is more simplified app navigation, where users can now access features of the app from the top of their screens.

This new placement optimizes the workflow, allowing users to create reports and analyze data in a less cluttered view. By making navigation more intuitive, users can quickly switch between different tools and reports, improving workflow efficiency—an essential factor when addressing urgent traffic issues.

Similarly, the platform now features a cleaner, minimal aesthetic with brighter colors, creating a more engaging and user-friendly environment. This streamlined design not only enhances the overall visual experience but also helps users focus on their traffic data and insights without any distraction of overly complex visuals.
