But in a major upgrade, PTV Flows traffic management software now sends automated alerts about incidents that are about to occur.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/products\/ptv-flows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PTV Flows<\/a> has recently been upgraded with a transformative new feature called <strong>Automated Email Alerts for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)<\/strong>. This feature represents a significant step forward in traffic management technology, providing traffic operators and managers with greater efficiency and proactive control.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this feature groundbreaking? Let&#8217;s take a look.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What is PTV Flows?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]PTV Flows\u00a0 is an innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/application-areas\/traffic-operations-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real-time traffic management<\/a> and forecasting software. Using advanced machine learning and cutting-edge technology, it enables transport operators to effortlessly monitor and predict traffic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>As cloud-based software, PTV Flows does not require users to invest in complex infrastructure and equipment. This makes traffic management a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/real-time-traffic-management\/ptv-optima-vs-ptv-flows-which-traffic-management-software-is-best-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cost-effective and hassle-free option<\/a> for cities and road authorities.<\/p>\n<p>What sets PTV Flows apart from the competition is its focus on predictive traffic management. Using automated alerts and real-time data analysis, it enables <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/real-time-traffic-management\/exploring-traffic-jams-of-future-highways-in-hungary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proactive traffic management<\/a>, allowing operators to anticipate and mitigate potential traffic problems before they escalate.<\/p>\n<p>This focus on prediction, rather than mere reaction, increases the efficiency and effectiveness of traffic management, resulting in smoother traffic flows and reduced congestion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, its cloud-based nature ensures scalability and ease of access.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22546&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What are PTV Flows automated email alerts?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Automated Email Alerts for KPIs is a new feature of PTV Flows. It is designed to keep traffic operators ahead of the curve by alerting them to potential problems before they escalate into major issues. PTV Flows now sends two types of automated alerts for travel time KPIs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Warning<\/strong> (visualized in yellow) &#8211; for cautionary warnings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Critical<\/strong> (in red) &#8211; for urgent situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The system can also send information about normal situations (in green) if the user wishes to be notified when the problem is fully resolved.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22531&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Automated email alerts are now available to all active PTV Flows customers. The feature can be enabled by the administrator, who can also choose which KPIs to monitor and who should receive the notification.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if PTV Flows predicts a future event, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/city-and-mobility\/construction-site-management-congestion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unexpectedly heavy traffic<\/a>, it now sends an alert to operators. This allows them to proactively adjust signal timing or inform the public of alternative routes in advance.<\/p>\n<p>This is in contrast to previous situations where responses were more reactive and based on real-time events, often resulting in delays and increased congestion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Customize PTV Flows traffic alerts<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A key aspect of these alerts is their customizability. FTV Flows users can select the KPIs they are interested in and the level of alert severity they want to be notified about.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the KPIs users can select include dynamic travel times with different levels of prediction. This means predicting travel times if the driver starts now, in 10 minutes, in 20 minutes, etc.<\/p>\n<p>PTV Flows will soon add alerts based on typical travel times recorded in the user-defined corridor at that time and day of the week. This flexibility ensures that users receive relevant alerts based on their specific needs and responsibilities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22538&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Direct access and simplified management<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When users receive an automated email alert, they can click on the email to go directly to the relevant section in PTV Flows. This direct link takes the user to the PTV Flows interface focused on the KPI that triggered the alert, allowing for immediate assessment and action.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, recognizing that certain situations, such as special events or festivals, can temporarily alter traffic patterns, we \u00a0added the ability to mute alerts for specific KPIs for a specified period. This feature allows users to tailor the alert system to unique scenarios, ensuring they receive only the most relevant information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9413&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Who else benefits from these traffic alerts?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The impact of the new PTV Flows feature extends beyond individual traffic operators and managers:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patrol units<\/strong>, such as police or security vehicles, can now receive real-time alerts, enabling them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/resources\/references\/ptv-optima-dynamic-traffic-model-for-slovenia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">respond more quickly<\/a> to emerging traffic situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Municipalities <\/strong>and<strong> city planners<\/strong> can integrate these alerts into <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/en\/city-and-mobility\/real-time-travel-data-for-traffic-forecast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broader traffic management<\/a> and emergency response strategies to improve citywide operational efficiency.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;22524&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;500&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For <strong>businesses and organizations<\/strong>, this feature opens up the possibility of integrating PTV Flows into complex automated workflows using tools such as Microsoft Power Automate or Zapier. From triggering social media alerts during major traffic events to activating dynamic signage systems, the potential applications are vast and varied.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the <strong>Automated Email Alerts for KPIs<\/strong> feature makes traffic managers move from a reactive to a proactive approach.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Download the white paper&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-flows%2Fwhitepaper-digitization-traffic-management|title:digitization%20traffic%20management|target:_blank&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Digitize your city&#8217;s traffic management<\/h2>\n<p>&#8230;in less than a month.[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Related Products<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Visum&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-visum|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Multimodal Transport Planning<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Optima&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Ftraffic-management-software-ptv-optima|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Real-time Traffic Management<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Vissim&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-vissim|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Multimodal Traffic simulation<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"card-text\">In a major upgrade for traffic controllers, PTV Flows now sends automatic alerts of future incidents.
