When the Arabian Gulf's heavy rain event hit in April 2024, Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) faced a fast-moving problem: major disruption to traffic flow and infrastructure across the emirate, with residents feeling the impact in real time.

Auckland Transport (AT), the council-controlled organisation responsible for managing transportation across Auckland since 2010, keeps people and goods moving efficiently across the city's transport network. That gets harder as multimodal traffic grows and traffic light systems along key corridors need faster, smarter updates.

Measuring the real-world impact of a major infrastructure project is notoriously difficult. Traditional traffic counts and sensors can tell you what's happening at a handful of fixed points, but they rarely give the complete, network-wide picture needed to understand how construction is actually reshaping travel across a city.
