INIT Partners with Denver RTD for TSP Project

Chesapeake, VA – June 17, 2024

Mattersoft, a wholly-owned member of the INIT Group is proud to announce the successful deployment of its first live Traffic Signal Priority (LIVEtsp) project in the United States. In collaboration with The Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, CO, this innovative pilot empowers smart traffic control resulting in improved schedule adherence and better on-time vehicle performance.

LIVEtsp, has been configured at 22 of RTD’s key intersections throughout the Denver area. This system supports up to 400 vehicles online simultaneously and manages approximately 3,000 TSP requests daily. Real-time vehicle data, including GPS positions, is received from on-board computers via mobile networks. Due to its centralized nature, the system requires no additional vehicle hardware and only a small modem and basic relay in each traffic control cabinet.

Priority requests are swiftly processed on the server based on incoming vehicle data and transmitted to the city’s traffic signal controllers through a seamless cellular connection from the LIVEtsp backend. The web-based user interface provides a real-time map showing vehicle positions once per second for real-time accuracy and offers comprehensive performance reports with valuable insights into system performance and optimization opportunities.

LIVEtsp at RTD adjusts traffic signals in real-time allowing them to spend less time at red lights resulting in shorter travel times and more efficient routes.
