Cloud-based transportation analytics provider GridMatrix has been chosen by Georgia Department of Transportation (GDoT) to join its ITS marketplace.

That means any jurisdiction in the Peach State can purchase GridMatrix software.

The contract term extends for one year with four possible one-year extensions, and includes products covering traffic signal management, timing/modelling, video analytics and safety tools powered by AI and machine learning.

“We are excited to partner with GDoT and have our technology selected after a national review of market leading ITS Solutions,” said GridMatrix co-founder and CEO Nicholas D’Andre.

“GridMatrix has had a Georgia presence outside of Atlanta since 2021, operating a deployment in Peachtree Corners. This contract offers an opportunity to build that local success into a statewide system and establish a strong presence in the south-east.”

Now active in 12 cities and counting across the United States and Europe, this contract offers an opportunity for GridMatrix to continue its proven track record of success with scaled deployments in the Peach State.

GDoT is the tenth largest state DoT in the US, with a $4 billion operating budget and over 3,700 staff.

Headquartered in San Francisco, GridMatrix was founded in 2021 by a group of former Apple engineering and operations workers.
