Dynamic Traffic Management Using Disparate Data Sources

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with a computer system, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein, when executed by the computer system, the program instructions cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving information corresponding to traffic conditions associated with traffic flows in an environment, wherein the information is associated with different types of sources distributed in the environment, the environment comprises multiple intersections and roadways, and the types of data sources are associated with:
• municipal vehicles, mass-transit vehicles, or both;
• identifying an event in at least a portion of the environment based at least in part on the information wherein identifying the event comprises predicting a change in a traffic condition in the environment in a subsequent time interval;
• and
• performing a remedial action based at least in part on the identified event.
