The Minnesota Cup, said to be the largest new venture competition in the US, encourages the development of breakthrough ideas from across the state.  One of 57 semi-finalists, traffic management specialist 5243 Smart Signal Technologies is now a finalist in the High Tech Division of the 2013 Cup.

Smart Signal Technologies offers a set of technologies to improve traffic on signalised corridors by enabling transportation agencies to calculate accurate queue lengths and travel times, utilising already-installed controllers, augmented by the company's proprietary Queue Length Processing (QLP) algorithms to provide real time performance measures. The system is Map-21 compliant, device-independent and platform neutral, permitting compatibility with all detector types and controller devices.
