KITCHENER —
The smartest intersection in the world is in Detroit, using the technology developed by Miovision in Kitchener.
Kurtis McBride, ceo of the company, began to feel like a Canadian musician and had to be big in the United States. S.
Before people closer to home pay attention to them.
No Canadian city has deployed Miovision technology like Detroit.
"It's a little frustrating for us," McBride said . ".
On Tuesday, McBride and Detroit law announced what they call the smartest crossroads in the world, just in time for the annual conference of the American Association for intelligent transportation.
Thousands of traffic engineers and city planners meet in Detroit to learn about the latest smart city technology.
The Miovision product, called TrafficLink, will have a central stage in the city hall in front of the city hall in Detroit, on Larder Street.
The smartest intersection in the world is the five sets of traffic lights in the downtown corridor, where there are also many pedestrians and cyclists.
Video sensors, traffic signals that can be changed remotely, and a range of sensors connect smart vehicles to infrastructure.
Detroit is a major customer of Kitchener.
In the past three years, the city has connected about 400 sets of traffic lights using Miovision technology.
Transforming the lights along the Lander Street into the world's most intelligent traffic lights is the problem of adding software to technologies already deployed around the city.
"We will describe the TrafficLink product deployed in Detroit as a smart phone at the crossroads," McBride said . ".
"With TrafficLink, you can buy a device and add software to improve its functionality.
"For years Miovision has been selling technologies to ease congestion, counting the number of vehicles and reminding city officials when the lights are not working.
It allows to change traffic lights remotely from a central location.
TrafficLink technology encourages heavy trucks transporting goods to use certain routes by promising to reduce red lights.
The city bus can change the lights remotely in order to run as scheduled.
Police can use videos collected at intersections.
This technology can help cyclists and pedestrians safely pass the intersection.
It constantly collects data about traffic and collects it to gain insights into improving security.
The sensor communicates with the connected vehicle.
"The city is great in driving demand and driving the vision around the equipment," McBride said . ".
Then we turned these ideas into products.
"The result is the smart city network.
"When we started working with them, they had very few connections at intersections, very little perception, and very little old infrastructure," McBride said . ".
"We took them from where they were to the most complex crossroads in the world.
He said: "The response time for emergency vehicles has dropped by 20.
Traffic congestion has eased during peak hours and off hourspeak times.
