8097 Gridsmart Technologies is at the ITS World Congress Melbourne with a next-generation development – the all new GS2 Processor and Performance Modules to help traffic professionals better identify improvement opportunities at any intersection.

“GS2 isn’t just an evolution of our legacy processor: it’s a completely new design based on extensive research and customer feedback that we believe to be the most thought-out piece of hardware in the industry,” said Bill Malkes, Gridsmart CEO and co-founder.

“We developed GS2 and the Performance Modules to be simple, flexible, and transparent, the three core principles that define Gridsmart and its products.” GS2 works with the Gridsmart camera to actuate intersections and gather important traffic data that can be used to adjust signal timing and traffic flow strategies in real-time. All traffic data is captured and stored in the Gridsmart Cloud. That traffic data, owned and maintained by the company, is made fully available to customers who elect to purchase the Performance or Performance Plus Module.
