Traffic Management Market Study

Road traffic management solutions: a $3.5 billion market on the path towards SaaS?

Report on ATMS markets & technologies

As road traffic has fully recovered from the COVID pandemic, the need for Intelligent Transport Solutions (ITS) solutions to reduce congestion and increase the safety of road users has never been greater.

For example, in New York City, traffic intersections involve 55% of pedestrian fatalities and 79% of pedestrian injuries.

Since the first traffic signal management and VMS (Variable Message Signs) deployments, much progress has been made.

In the new paradigm, Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) are now:

  • Multi-sensors, collecting data from loops but also cameras, radars and connected vehicles,
  • Multi-controllers, permitting the adaptive timing of traffic lights across a complete city,
  • Increasingly standards-based to facilitate multi-vendor systems integration,
  • Multi-agency, allowing the creation of complete traffic corridors,
  • Multi-modal, enabling for example the integration of Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs),
  • Connected to parking systems, providing real-time guidance to city visitors,
  • Cloud-based, for the Traffic Management Center but also increasingly for controllers and devices,
  • Allowing 2-way communication between the roadways, the vehicles and control rooms.

In their new form, traffic management solutions become more dynamic, data- and software-centric. New business models based on recurring revenues such as SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) are emerging.

And new breakthroughs are still to come, from AI to autonomous vehicles, demand management, environment management and V2X.

In this study, PTOLEMUS investigates the current state of the traffic management market for both urban areas and highways / motorways. And it predicts its future evolution in North America and Europe until 2032.

Based on its bottom-up evaluation of the supply and its fundamental assessment of key trends, PTOLEMUS forecasts that the market for traffic management solutions will reach $5 billion in 2032.
