San Mateo County, in the US state of California, has selected GridMatrix to provide a solution for its upcoming traffic and safety analytics programme.

The solution from GridMatrix, a provider of cloud-based traffic analytics solutions, will be on Middlefield Road in the county’s town of North Fair Oaks.

GridMatrix will install Lidar units along the corridor to gather real-time transportation data in support of San Mateo County’s Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic deaths.

GridMatrix said it has assembled an ITS team to ensure that San Mateo County receives the best service and products. Bear Electrical Solutions, based in northern California, will perform roadside installation work while Lidar solutions provider Outsight will set up the real-time Lidar perception processing software, hardware, maintenance and support.

GridMatrix said its solution will unite the Lidar data feeds on its cloud-based analytics programme to create an integrated and easy-to-use system for county traffic engineers. The work will be done as part of the larger Middlefield Road Improvement project which seeks to transform the half-mile stretch to improve local road safety and economic vitality.
