KPI Name Intersection Control
KPI No. EC: ICT: T: 3A Type: Advanced Type: Smart

Definition / Percentage of road intersections using adaptive traffic control or prioritization
Description measures

Rationale / The use of adaptive traffic control or prioritization measures at intersections will
Interpretation / allow for the traffic signals to respond to traffic patterns.
Benchmarking
Adaptive traffic control or prioritization includes measures such as embedded
road sensors that change traffic signals based on actual vehicles flow or other
similar sensors that provide the same function.

This can lead to less idling time for cars at intersections and better traffic flow.
Cities should report only on signal-controlled intersections.
An increasing trend and higher values are considered positive.
Methodology Calculate as:

Numerator: Number of intersections with adaptive traffic control.
Denominator: Total number of signal-controlled intersections.
Multiply by 100.
Unit Percentage
