## Description
The purpose of this project is to expand and upgrade the current coverage of the road network sensors used by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) in order to collate data on transport habits across the West Midlands and in particular the Key Route Network (https://www.tfwm.org.uk/strategy/network-resilience/congestion-management-plan/key-route-network/).
Such data will benefit from the region's 5G network and be used to facilitate better real time planning of the region's road network, resulting in a safer, more efficient, well maintained and managed network. In addition, such data can in turn be exploited in separately generated tools and applications delivered outside this project.
The project will develop or add to an existing data engine which will surface the data generated through the sensors in a scalable and user defined way to the support a range of applications, from operational, tactical, strategic, forecasting, and third party distribution.
