As part of ongoing efforts to modernize its traffic signals, the City of Toronto has recently issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the provision of a new, adaptive ‘smart signal’ system. Smart traffic signals adjust in realtime to traffic volumes on the roadway, meaning that signals can allocate green time in a way that helps minimize congestion. 

This RFP calls for a 20-intersection pilot beginning in late 2016/early 2017, with the option to expand the program to up to 500 signals over the next five years if the pilot is successful.

The RFP can be accessed via the City’s call documents website at: https://wx.toronto.ca/inter/pmmd/calls.nsf/0/02995F58D53BF10D85257F34006A0553?OpenDocument.
