McCain technology chosen to tackle congestion in Maui, Hawaii

McCain’s smart city traffic technology is being implemented in Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaii archipelago, in a bid to reduce congestion. The system is expected to allow traffic engineers to view, study and modify traffic patterns and signal timing.

772 McCain’s smart city traffic technology is being implemented in Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaii archipelago, in a bid to reduce congestion. The system is expected to allow traffic engineers to view, study and modify traffic patterns and signal timing.


The 508 Hawaii Department of Transportation – Maui District has selected McCain’s partner 5413 Phoenix Pacific to install the equipment at 82 intersections throughout the island.  

The scope of the delivery includes McCain’s FLeX Controllers which run the company’s Omni eX Intersection Control Software. The company’s Transparity Traffic Management System will use cellular technology to provide managers with traffic data in real-time.

FleX Controllers, part of McCain’s Advanced Controller eX series, are intended to offer high-resolution data and support vehicle-to-everything applications including connected vehicles.

According to McCain, Maui’s intersections will be networked using cellular communications which will remove the need for hardwired communication, digging and extended lane closures during installation.

McCain will manufacture the equipment and provide technical support throughout the project.

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no
