Description
Gridlock optimizes existing traffic signal timing using historical and live traffic data, without requiring cities to replace their existing signal hardware, cutting average intersection wait times by double digits in its first pilot city.
Problem
Smart-city traffic solutions are usually priced and scoped for major metros, leaving mid-size cities stuck with static, decades-old signal timing.
Solution
Software-only signal timing optimization that works with a city's existing traffic controller hardware, priced for a mid-size municipal budget.
Target market
Mid-size city transportation departments.
Business model
Annual municipal licensing contract.

Working with existing signal hardware instead of requiring a rip-and-replace is the right call for mid-size city budgets.
