Kentucky Transportation Cabinet awards comprehensive contract to provider of free traffic management and control solutions.

In a significant stride towards modernising traffic management in Kentucky, Q-Free, a leading company in this field, has partnered with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and Traffic Control Products, Inc. to deploy an additional 500 advanced transportation controllers (ATC) as part of a statewide initiative.

This agreement, which marks a major step forward for traffic signal modernization in Kentucky, is the result of years of collaboration and a shared vision for safer, more efficient traffic management. Over the past seven years, Kentucky has been modernizing its traffic signals, deploying thousands of Q-Free ATC controllers with the goal of upgrading intersections across the entire state.

The new controllers will be equipped with Q-Free's industry-leading MAXTIME ic software. This software offers real-time responsiveness, enhanced coordination between intersections, and robust performance monitoring tools. The partnership aims to deliver Q-Free's cutting-edge technology across Kentucky, bringing operational improvements to communities large and small.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet collaborated with Q-Free and Traffic Control Products, Inc. in 2021 to install these 500 new ATCs. This was an extension of ongoing efforts including over 2,500 previously deployed units. The agreement includes a long-term maintenance and support partnership between KYTC and Q-Free.

The goal is for every intersection in Kentucky to be run by a Q-Free controller by 2026-2027. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce congestion, increase safety, and future-proof Kentucky's infrastructure. Q-Free's technology is anticipated to bring operational improvements to communities, making travel more efficient and safer for all.

The deployment of these additional 500 ATCs is a testament to the commitment of all parties involved to creating a safer, more efficient traffic management system for the state of Kentucky.
