Cities often invest in traffic solutions based on guesswork, wasting public money on interventions that may not work. Joinville built a Smart Mobility methodology that combines real-time traffic data from a partnership with Waze and open-source traffic simulation software (SUMO) to test solutions digitally before any physical work begins. This evidence-based approach has made mobility decisions faster, cheaper, and more effective — saving public funds and improving daily life for residents.
