Applied Information Polls Industry on Future of Traffic Management
With transportation networks growing more complex, Applied Information is surveying 18,000 industry professionals to pinpoint the most urgent needs in traffic signal operations and infrastructure maintenance. Featured in the September 2026 ITE Journal, the initiative seeks to align emerging technology with the practical realities of daily traffic management.

The survey asks engineers, planners, and public agency staff to evaluate current infrastructure hurdles, including corridor retiming and system reliability. By gathering data on how agencies utilize cloud-based management and artificial intelligence, the company intends to identify where new tools can provide the most significant operational impact. Results are scheduled for release in November 2026.
Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information, noted that the project aims to give a voice to those managing systems with increasingly limited resources. The findings will highlight where technology can bridge the gap between complex connected systems and everyday maintenance, offering a roadmap for future research and tool development within the transportation sector.
