Abstract
Various embodiments include a system having: at least one computing device configured to monitor a motor vehicle traffic pattern by performing actions including: obtaining telecommunications data from a plurality of mobile devices within a hyper-local area over a hyper-local period; identifying a set of mobile devices within the plurality of mobile devices travelling by motor vehicle from the telecommunications data; determining the motor vehicle traffic pattern based upon the telecommunications data from the set of mobile devices traveling by motor vehicle; comparing the determined motor vehicle traffic pattern with a threshold motor vehicle traffic pattern; and providing instructions for modifying at least one traffic signal device in response to the determined motor vehicle traffic pattern deviating from the threshold motor vehicle traffic pattern.
