👉 Traffic engineering is the strategic planning and implementation of traffic management systems to optimize the flow of vehicles within a transportation network. It involves the use of data analytics, modeling, and real-time monitoring to design and adjust infrastructure, signal timings, and routing strategies. By analyzing traffic patterns and predicting congestion points, engineers can implement measures like adaptive traffic signals, dynamic lane management, and variable speed limits to reduce bottlenecks and improve overall efficiency. This proactive approach aims to minimize delays, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impacts by ensuring smooth traffic movement across various modes of transportation.
