Problem
Urban traffic management systems often lack real-time data and predictive capabilities, leading to inefficient signal timing, increased congestion, and extended travel times for all road users. This deficiency impacts transit operations, emergency response, and overall urban mobility.
Solution
Connected Signals provides a Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) data ecosystem that delivers real-time traffic signal status and predictive information. Their platform enables intelligent traffic signal control and communication without requiring new physical infrastructure. By integrating with existing traffic signal controllers, Connected Signals offers solutions for transit signal priority, automatic pedestrian calls, and bicycle detection. Their proprietary Signal Prediction Engine utilizes machine learning and statistical techniques to forecast signal changes, enhancing traffic flow and safety. The EnLighten application provides this data to vehicles, supporting advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving functions for more efficient and safer travel.
Target Audience
The primary customers are municipalities, transportation agencies, and automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking to improve urban mobility, traffic efficiency, and road safety.
