XTraffic

Tl;dr: XTraffic upgrades traffic lights to work together as an intelligent system, communicating and coordinating to reduce traffic and improve safety. The autonomous control of traffic lights gives back to both city officials and their citizens their most valuable resource - time.

Hi everyone, we’re Everett, Luke, and Brian, the founders of XTraffic.

Why Now?

The combination of rapidly advancing technology and smart-city initiatives has created a unique intersection in time where intelligent traffic control is not just possible but affordable.

As smart city initiatives are being adopted worldwide, municipalities of all sizes are looking for ways to affordably transition to intelligent infrastructure. XTraffic leverages this trend by providing cities with a scalable, intelligent system that upgrades existing traffic lights into a self-optimizing network.

Market Opportunity

The global smart city market is projected to reach $3.84 trillion by 2029, with traffic management as a requirement to aid in driving this growth. Urban areas are expanding, and traffic congestion is a major pain point that costs the U.S. more than $70.4 billion in 2023, a 15% increase from 2022. XTraffic is tapping into this immense market opportunity by offering a solution that not only reduces traffic congestion but also enhances safety, reduces emissions, and increases overall quality of life.

Why XTraffic?

Our system isn’t just about less traffic; it’s about smarter use of our infrastructure. XTraffic's approach allows traffic lights to 'talk' to each other, making real-time decisions based on current conditions across an entire network. This holistic view enables our system to adapt dynamically to changing traffic patterns, emergencies, and other factors - this significantly reduces delays and optimizes traffic flow across entire cities.

With our solution, cities can avoid the massive costs of overhauling infrastructure. Instead, they can implement an affordable, flexible system that integrates seamlessly with existing technology. This reduces the barrier to entry and allows for rapid deployment, scaling from single intersections to entire metropolitan areas.
