Description

The City of Airdrie is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced vendors to supply, configure, deploy, and support an AI-based Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Pilot Project along a selected corridor within the City. The pilot aims to transition from conventional time of day signal timing plans to a real-time adaptive control strategy leveraging existing traffic signal infrastructure, including Intelight controllers and video-based detection systems (Econolite and Iteris). The project intends to improve traffic operations, reduce delays, enhance network performance, and evaluate scalability for potential future city-wide expansion. The contract term is two years with options to extend for up to three additional years in one-year increments, subject to budget and satisfactory pilot completion.
