eveloped by self-proclaimed ‘Traf- fic Control Freaks’ GRIDSMART’s STREETSMART device uses in-vehicle
generated Wi-Fi signals to confront grid- lock. STREETSMART aligns perfectly with the company’s core values: Simple. Flexible. Transparent and is a simple to install and operate web interfaced solution, flexible to different situations and environments with transparent, cost-efficient pricing. With patented technology developed by
Acyclica, STREETSMART uses completely anonymous signals to track a vehicle as it pro- gresses through a series of the devices, build- ing data on origin destination, speed and congestion. When paired with GRIDSMART’s single camera, horizon-to-horizon intersec- tion machines, company CEO and Founder, Bill Malkes promises it’s a classic jab, left hook combo. “Traffic managers see traffic backing up and will immediately be able to react,” he said. “They could push out alerts, message alternative routes and change signal timing before congestion has time to figure out what’s happening.”

tion, maximizing efficiency and lowering environmental impact. While the device looks to eradicate congestion, it does play well with others. As an independent unit deployed in
groups of two or more and delivering data to the cloud, STREETSMART works effec- tively as part of any traffic management system, regardless of who manufactured the other components.
