A national urban planning authority needed experienced GIS analysts to strengthen planning and spatial decision-making. Aeologic embedded dedicated GIS professionals within the client's teams, providing expertise in spatial analysis, land-use planning, and geospatial data management to improve planning efficiency and support large-scale infrastructure initiatives.
The authority operated 140 signalized intersections across three states with legacy inductive-loop sensors and siloed camera feeds. Traffic engineers adjusted signal timing manually based on historical patterns, and incident response relied on phone reports from field staff — often 12–18 minutes after an incident began.
Rather than replace existing sensor hardware, Aeologic layered a Sense → Decide → Act pipeline on top of it: normalizing feeds from inductive loops and traffic cameras, training SageMaker forecasting models on 14 months of historical flow data, and pushing predicted congestion windows back to the signal controllers as adaptive timing recommendations.
A GIS-based operations map gives traffic engineers a single live view of every intersection, with automatic anomaly flags and one-click rerouting suggestions during incidents.
"We went from finding out about congestion after the fact to seeing it forming twenty minutes before it happens. That's the difference between managing traffic and predicting it."
