Bridging today's traffic signals to tomorrow's automated future

The 1 Billion Mission:

Inefficient Movement of goods and people on roads results in 1 billion metric tons of unnecessary greenhouse gas emitted annually. Leveraging the best of federally funded research, we are employing the science of movement control to fight climate change and facilitate sustainable urban transportation.

The connected and autonomous intersections of tomorrow. Fully multimodal, fully cooperative

We are developing the traffic signal network of tomorrow. By integrating cutting-edge algorithm research with innovative sensing and learning capabilities, xtelligent is enabling the cooperative, multimodal, AUTOMATED, and ACCOUNTABLE transportation future—today.

Preparing signal networks for the connected transportation future

Today’s transportation management technology is outdated. 1970s era technology regulates 98% of signalized intersections in the U.S. despite tremendous advances in technology. It is inefficient and overlooks the multimodal, automated, and safety-focused transportation future envisioned by our cities. More recent technologies are prohibitively expensive and lack transparency and accountability. The social, economic, environmental, and energy costs are huge: estimated to reach $2.8 trillion in the U.S. from 2013 to 2030. This does not include the full environmental, economic, and human cost. 

But the past does not have to be our future. These archaic systems can be replaced with cutting-edge, intelligent mobility control, priority, and preemption systems leveraging the latest research in dynamic network control, performance measurement, and accountable machine learning. They can be enhanced with new sensor technologies that are becoming increasingly granular and ubiquitous, while reducing cost significantly. Xtelligent is at the core of this system, developing the intelligence and neural network required to drive the step-change in signalized intersection management technology for a more sustainable, transparent, and resilient transportation future.

Company

Xtelligent is an algorithm and artificial intelligence company with deep roots in U.S. government funded telecommunication and transportation management research. By connecting signalized intersections to the latest sensor technology and enabling rapid distributed control, Xtelligent is driving the step-change in signalized intersection management technology and laying the ground logic required for the multimodal, safety-focused, and automated vehicle future. 

 
 

Experience & Recognition

We bring decades of experience in intelligent transportation system research and development. The team consists of top researchers, planners, engineers, and designers affiliated with MIT, USC, and UC Berkeley research labs, along with the U.S. national laboratories. Our core research and development has been funded by the U.S. government's National Science Foundation, Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, and Department of Energy to positively transform roadway movement.

The automatic control research driving our technology was recognized by the American Automatic Control Council through the prestigious Donald P. Eckman Award in 2017, and the World Economic Forum has recognized the project as one of the next generation of fast-growing enterprises shaping the future of business and society.
