- Ann Arbor is the first city in North America to adopt Yutraffic FUSION.
- The system’s intuitive interface simplifies adaptive traffic management and opens the door for multi-modal optimization for all road users.
- Yutraffic FUSION gives the user the ability to easily optimize signal timing in response to current traffic conditions.
Ann Arbor, MI, April 23, 2025 – The City of Ann Arbor remains at the forefront of transportation innovation with the introduction of Yutraffic FUSION, becoming the first city in North America to adopt this adaptive technology proven to significantly outperform traditional traffic control systems worldwide.
Yunex Traffic has been at the forefront of deploying adaptive signal solutions since the 1960s. The new Yutraffic FUSION algorithm builds upon decades of practical experience and years of development in collaboration with customers. Its user-friendly interface, streamlined workflows, and efficient management techniques make adaptive traffic management simpler than ever.
A Legacy of Efficiency
Since 2003, the City of Ann Arbor, represented by John Tomich, Senior Traffic Engineer, has utilized Yunex Traffic’s adaptive solutions to manage traffic efficiently, especially during Michigan football gamedays when the city’s population quadruples. The adaptive solutions have optimized traffic flow and saved the city thousands of dollars in retiming costs, which typically occur every 3-5 years.
Expert Insights on Adaptive Technology
“Adaptive technologies have been around for years, but historically they have been clunky and tedious to make the solution respond the way you want. With Yutraffic FUSION, the menus, screens, and workflows are intuitive, making changes easier than ever before” says Marc Segal, Head of US Adpative Solutions at Yunex Traffic North America. “We are excited to show more cities in North America how adaptive transport solutions can help their unique traffic situations.”
Embracing the Future of Transportation
As connected and autonomous vehicle technology grows, having a signal system that can accommodate and respond to multi-modal traffic is crucial. Yutraffic FUSION is the first multi-modal adaptive solution, designed to move people efficiently, not just vehicles. First installations in European cities have shown significant improvements compared to conventional traffic control.
Looking Ahead
Following the initial deployment, Yutraffic FUSION will be compared with existing adaptive technology and tested in use cases such as the accelerated deployment of City maintenance vehicles, enhancing service to the citizens of Ann Arbor.
Additionally, Yutraffic FUSION offers a profound opportunity to support cities on the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. By leveraging advanced data inputs and policy-driven controls, the system has the ability to prioritize vulnerable road users, reducing potential conflict points and fostering safer, more inclusive transportation networks. Equally, public transportation stands to benefit significantly, as Yutraffic FUSION can enhance signal prioritization for buses and trams, ensuring more reliable schedules and efficient routes.
