In August, the company announced a Smart Cities Challenge – titled Improving Intersections – to enhance city mobility, shorten commute times and increase safety at intersections around the world. The goal is to change the way cities move by collaborating with governments to solve some of the most complex mobility issues they face today, including frustrated motorists sitting at intersections in traffic backups waiting for lights to change.
Parsons solution to the global mobility issue includes automated traffic re-timing based on changing traffic patterns, systems that connect vehicles with traffic signals, and accounting for the rise of pedestrians, bicycle, electric scooter and other means of current transportation.
