US-based 7316 Intelight has been awarded a US$9.6 million framework agreement to provide advanced traffic signal management and control (ATMS) to the 754 Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for its state wide traffic signal software project.

Intelight, a 108 Q-Free Group company, will deliver ATMS and control software, as well as well as hardware upgrades for the state’s signalised intersections at up to 9,500 locations.

The project utilises the latest available advanced transportation controller (ATC) technology in the US including Intelight’s MaxTime signal control software. The project will also deploy Intelight’s ATMS software MaxView Statewide, which allows the state, city and county agencies to standardise around the same local controller and system control software and be network linked across jurisdictional boundaries.

The contract is open-ended but estimated by the GDOT at US$9.6 million in the  first year. The first purchase orders under the new project are expected during the fourth quarter of 2015, totalling approximately US$2.3 million.

“This is a showcase project for Intelight, incorporating our leading edge technology from the local intersections through a series of networked ITS management centres to a state-wide solution,” commented Intelight’s founder and president, Craig Gardner.

“We are very pleased to see Intelight succeed as part of Q-Free. This is an important win for us and demonstrates the attractiveness of the Intelight technology platform, said Q-Free CEO Thomas Falck.
