Georgia Department of Transportation has deployed the Flow Platform, including Luminus and Luminus Plus, across the signal network surrounding Mercedes-Benz Stadium ahead of FIFA World Cup 26. The deployment will support reliable travel for fans, residents, and commuters during one of the largest events Atlanta has hosted in decades.

The platform covers 325 signalized intersections in the area around the stadium, where Atlanta will host eight World Cup matches between June 15 and July 15, 2026, including a semifinal.

How Georgia DOT is Using the Flow Platform

The deployment of the Flow Platform enables GDOT to address key use cases including:

• Real-time signal performance monitoring – continuous visibility into how signals are operating across the entire stadium network, with no new field hardware required.
• Major-event baselining – engineers can establish what normal looks like for events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium — Falcons games, Atlanta United matches, prior college football and concert events — and compare match-day performance against those baselines.
• Real-time alerting – engineers receive notifications as operational issues emerge, allowing the team to respond during the event rather than learn about problems after the fact.
• Insights – proactive diagnostics surface signal-level issues like detector failures, communication problems, and timing irregularities, and recommend the appropriate engineering response.

Driving Outcomes for the Community

GDOT continues its drive for enhanced active management of the signal network surrounding Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This investment enables the agency to:

• Maintain reliable travel for residents and commuters whose daily routes pass through the stadium area during the tournament.
• Support match-day operations with data that reflects what is happening on the network at any given moment.
• Identify and resolve signal issues before they affect tournament traffic or local mobility.
• Build a long-term performance record that supports signal operations well beyond the World Cup.
• Conduct data-driven daily debriefs with its traffic engineers and partners at the City of Atlanta.
