Abstract
A system and method are provided for connecting intersections, to enable two-way wireless communication between a cloud-based traffic operations service and new and existing traffic cabinet hardware using 'connected intersection' technology. By providing hardware in existing (or new) traffic control cabinets that can communicate wirelessly with a cloud-based traffic operations system, customers can enhance and upgrade legacy traffic networks using existing IT infrastructure (i.e. servers, hard drives, etc.) or existing communication networks. The connected intersection technology further provides software functionalities including real-time alerts, connectivity between existing cabinets and central systems, and signal timing-plan management for customers that lack an existing central system.
