Operational Impact
The implementation of IBM's solutions has significantly improved ARTESP's ability to manage its road network. The agency can now harness analytical insight to improve the overall safety and reliability of the roads in the state of São Paulo. The solution enables ARTESP and its contractors to correlate road damage with accidents, gaining a better understanding of where to invest maintenance time and effort to produce the greatest impact on road safety. With standardized information from numerous state-wide sources available to analysts in near-real time, ARTESP can better identify traffic issues and collaborate with contractors on new road operations, enhancing traffic flow and safety for motorists. The agency can also prepare contingency plans for peak times, such as holidays and festive seasons, which raise the likelihood of accidents. This planning helps to save lives. Furthermore, the solution has improved the quality of information available to ARTESP and its partners, providing a better basis for decision-making and allowing ARTESP to prioritize and plan road maintenance and safety initiatives more intelligently. | |
