Q-Free, a global leader in mobility solutions for smart city infrastructure, in partnership with Traffic Control Products, Inc. announced an agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to provide and support the deployment of another 500 Q-Free advanced transportation controllers (ATC) as part of a statewide initiative to upgrade intersections.
Over the past seven years, Kentucky has been carrying out a traffic signal modernization plan, deploying thousands of Q-Free ATC controllers with the goal of upgrading intersections across the entire state. It is anticipated that every intersection in Kentucky will be run by a Q-Free controller by 2026-2027.
KYTC has procured an additional 500 Q-Free traffic controllers equipped with Q-Free’s industry-leading MAXTIME ic software. These controllers will replace and upgrade infrastructure across the state as part of their broader modernization plan, adding to the more than 2,500 controllers previously purchased. The agreement also includes a long-term maintenance and support partnership, ensuring continuous high performance and operational reliability for years to come.
Ryan Brown, CEO of Traffic Control Products, said:This partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is the result of years of collaboration and a shared vision for safer, more efficient traffic management. We are proud to deliver Q-Free’s cutting-edge technology across the state and bring significant operational improvements to communities large and small.
Q-Free’s controllers, pre-loaded with MAXTIME software, provide real-time responsiveness, enhanced coordination between intersections, and robust performance monitoring tools, all essential features for modern traffic systems seeking to reduce congestion, increase safety, and future-proof infrastructure.
Mark Talbot, CEO of Q-Free, said:This agreement marks a major step forward for traffic signal modernization in Kentucky. Working with two forward-thinking partners in Traffic Control Products and KYTC, we’re excited to bring new levels of efficiency to the residents of Kentucky.
