The Challenge
The City of Nashville’s transportation network faced increasing pressure from rapid growth in vehicles, pedestrians, and micromobility options like scooters and bikes. Outdated, reactive traffic and curb management could no longer meet the city’s needs, leading to congestion. To address these challenges, officials pursued a data-driven approach to proactively manage urban mobility, improve accessibility and safety, and ensure the city’s infrastructure could adapt to its expanding multimodal demands.
Solution
To modernize its transportation management, Nashville partnered with INRIX to deploy advanced analytics tools that enhanced citywide mobility. Using INRIX Curb Analytics, the city gained visibility into curb usage to improve safety and efficiency. INRIX Signal Analytics provided real-time intersection data to optimize signal timing, while Ride Report enabled better oversight of shared mobility services like scooters and bikes. Procured through Sourcewell for efficiency, these tools offered a unified, data-driven view of urban movement, helping Nashville shift from reactive fixes to proactive, strategic mobility management.
Result
Nashville strengthened its ability to manage traffic flow, improve safety, and optimize infrastructure through real-time, data-driven analytics. City officials can now anticipate congestion, manage curb space more efficiently, and coordinate shared mobility programs with greater precision. This integrated approach demonstrates how data-powered insights can create smarter, safer, and more sustainable transportation systems that enhance urban mobility and overall city performance.
