Outsight, GridMatrix partner to improve traffic analytics, smart city development
Outsight and GridMatrix, two of the technology providers in the field of traffic analytics and perception software, have announced a partnership. This alliance brings together Outsight’s LiDAR-based perception software with GridMatrix’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) traffic analytics solutions, establishing a new standard in smart city infrastructure and traffic management.
Outsight, known for their LiDAR technology and advanced 3D perception software, will provide real-time, granular traffic data with accuracy. GridMatrix will leverage this high-definition data to generate traffic reports, flow optimisation, proactive incident detection and safety metrics.
Together, they will offer an integrated, end-to-end traffic management solution that promises to improve traffic monitoring, safety, and efficiency for their locale and state government customers and partners.
“Our partnership with GridMatrix opens up new possibilities in the field of proactive traffic safety analytics,” says Murat Atalay, director of customer engagement and solutions at Outsight. “By combining our technologies, we will provide municipalities with a powerful tool for understanding and managing traffic patterns in real time. This will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and promote more efficient, sustainable urban living.”
The combined offering will empower local and state governments with insights into their road networks, particularly through surrogate safety metrics and analysis. By understanding the behavior and flow of traffic in real-time, authorities can make more informed decisions on road design, traffic signal timing, congestion management, and emergency response.
“The integration of Outsight’s LiDAR perception technology with our traffic analytics platform will take our offerings to an entirely new level,” says Austin Wilson, vice president of business development of GridMatrix. “Our partners and customers will now have access to a more complete and accurate understanding of their road networks. This partnership will enable our combined products to usher in a new world of systemic safety, drive equitable innovation throughout communities, and revolutionise traffic management.”
The announcement of the Outsight-GridMatrix partnership signals a step forward in the ongoing digital transformation of urban and suburban landscapes. By leveraging artificial intelligence, LiDAR technology, and analytics, the alliance sets a new standard for traffic management and city planning in the 21st century.
