Proactive Signal Health Monitoring & Corridor Prioritization

Detecting roadway issues can be a challenge. Traffic patterns change, equipment malfunctions, and problems like red light running go unnoticed. Unseen issues lead to accidents and unsafe streets.

Cerberus uses the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to turn data into action. It scans real-time conditions across roads, networks, and intersections to pinpoint risks. The AI alerts agencies to problems such as speeding, unsafe turns, and broken signals so agencies know where fixes are most needed.

With Cerberus, no problem goes unseen. It gives agencies the tools to identify risks and prevent accidents before they happen. Engineers have complete visibility into safety issues to optimize traffic management. Cerberus moves agencies from reactive firefighting to predictive optimization.

• Customizable Health Scoring Algorithms: Cerberus enables engineers to set scoring criteria and performance thresholds.
• Regionwide Corridor Prioritization: Health scores can be used to instantly prioritize corridors and identify candidates for retiming.
• Alerting & Notifications: Users are alerted to major performance changes triggering further investigation and retiming.
• Asset Monitoring: Users can quickly identify poorly performing assets including controllers and detection.

Simple, intuitive, comprehensive analytics and diagnostics provide engineering teams with complete regional visibility

Abacus is our roadway and intersection analytics and diagnostics software, allowing engineering teams to see and understand exactly what is happening on any given roadway, at any given time.

Data is the starting point for every single engineering process, but today it is difficult to access, and even more difficult to use. Abacus makes it simpler. With seamless, pre-built integrations to traffic management systems, detection, and probe datasets, Abacus ingests, processes and integrates all available geospatial data sources into a single, accurate source of truth.

Through an intuitive map-based user interface, engineering teams can instantly visualize mobility, operations, safety, environmental impact, and equity measure across all roadways and intersections in a given area. With our proprietary diagnostic modules, engineers can then deep-dive into any issue and quickly identify the root cause without ever having to leave their desks.

• Map-Based Interface: Clear and intuitive visibility into signal performance, travel times, and signal timing issues.
• Ease-of-Use: Platform is designed for ease-of-use for regional management and local engineering staff.
• Real-Time Analytics: Platform provides real-time analytics on a minute-by-minute basis.

Fully automated, customizable traffic signal optimization delivering timing plans in seconds.

Traffic signals are crucial, but optimizing road safety and efficiency timing is challenging. Traditional methods are time-consuming and expensive. Signals become outdated and do not account for changes in traffic patterns. Most solutions focus on vehicle flow, creating safety issues for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit.

Optimus brings Artificial Intelligence (AI) to traffic signals to improve safety, mobility, and equity. Agencies can retime signals on demand for entire networks or individual intersections. Signals stay updated with changing traffic needs so streets work better for everyone. Drivers get less congested commutes; pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders get safer trips.

Optimus puts the power in the engineers' hands. It analyzes traffic patterns, and the AI tests different strategies to fix problems. Want to reduce congestion and improve pedestrian safety? Optimus develops custom plans for any goal. It explains each recommendation so engineers understand the impacts before implementing it. Timing plan predictions show changes to travel times, emissions, and safety.

Engineers can update timings for one intersection or network-wide in seconds. With no hardware needed, Optimus eliminates on-site visits, maintenance, and costs.

• Flexible User-Driven Optimization: Optimus enables engineers to easily set key objectives and constraints for optimization.
• Accurate Performance Predictions: Each timing plan comes with an accurate performance prediction.
• Safety Optimization: Optimus enables users to optimize timing plans for safety including establishing corridor speed targets, minimizing Red Light Running and Dilemma Zone Entry, and maximizing pedestrian safety.
