Kinetic Mobility

Kinetic® Mobility is Q-Free’s platform to combine expert features from its leading and established freeway and traffic signal management systems, OpenTMS and MAXVIEW.

Traditionally, systems capable of unifying these operations and the ITS devices they support were bolted together to meet project requirements. The result is severely limited data integration and handcuffed functionality. On the other hand, Kinetic Mobility was built from the ground up by experts in their respective fields.

The Kinetic platform breaks down traditional traffic management silos providing a holistic, comprehensive platform to achieve common mobility goals across local, intercity, and regional operations. It achieves this through a single, user-configurable interface for all aspects of intelligent transportation systems – traffic signals, events, signs, video, and more.

Leveraging a modern tech stack developed and used by tech giants, Kinetic Mobility provides optimal performance today and into the future.

• Live updates with no downtime
• Fully scalable
• Run on the cloud or agency server
• Traditional licensing or software as a service (SaaS)

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SOLUTION MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS

Kinetic Mobility platform features an ever-growing list of applications from which you can create your own fully-scalable, standards-based solution.

Kinetic Counts

Kinetic® Counts is a sophisticated traffic data collection and analysis tool that equips transportation authorities with valuable insights to make data-driven decisions for their infrastructure planning and investment needs. Our system map provides an easy means for operators to maintain a birds-eye view of site devices and overall health. Filterable, date-based system reports allow operators to analyze traffic patterns by lane, direction, and class to:

• Analyze traffic patterns
• Quickly identify anomalies
• Correlate weather data
• View/download per vehicle records

As part of Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility platform, Kinetic Counts leverages a modern tech stack developed and used by tech giants and financial institutions the world over. Easily scale and integrate with other Kinetic applications for a more holistic approach to transportation management.

Kinetic Corridors

Kinetic® Corridors is the modern solution for automated management of integrated corridors. Featuring unprecedented levels of control and configuration, Kinetic Corridors unites field devices, data sources, and traffic control under one easy-to-use interface. It maximizes the capacity of existing infrastructure and improves operational response times, creating more reliable and safer roadways while lowering emissions.

Kinetic Corridors uses advanced algorithms and highly configurable rules to ingest and analyze data to detect unsafe or inefficient conditions and respond automatically without operator intervention. Automated, proactive responses to recurring conditions free up operators to focus on more complex scenarios that require adaptive thinking and manual intervention. Kinetic Corridors can be used for a broad range of applications to improve corridors, including queue detection with response, speed harmonization, weather-related responses, and wrong-way driver detection and alert.

With Kinetic Corridors, you can:

• Build and configure unique corridors to manage, respond to, and prevent traffic events
• Easily add devices, update lane configurations, and assign zones to an existing corridor
• Manage corridors with little-to-no operator oversight using rules-based automation
• Manually control signs, signals, lanes, and more from an intuitive, point-and-click user interface
• Seamlessly integrate Kinetic Mobility modules (Kinetic Signals, Signs, Events, Counts, Travel Time, Video, and more) for maximum control and functionality

Kinetic Events

Kinetic® Events is a sophisticated end-to-end decision support system for detecting, managing, and responding to planned and unplanned events. Intuitive workflows, sophisticated rules-based DSS, and machine learning boost response time and consistency, so you can make better decisions faster.

Events are triggered from a myriad of data sources and assigned a level of confidence and severity by our correlation engine to help prioritize operator response. Regardless of event type, every event is created and monitored through a single, intuitive interface — for an improved user experience.

As part of Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility platform, Kinetic Events leverages a modern tech stack developed and used by tech giants and financial institutions the world over. Easily scale and integrate with other Kinetic applications for a more holistic approach to transportation management.

Kinetic Signals

Kinetic® Signals is an evolution and advancement of Q-Free’s celebrated MAXVIEW advanced traffic management system (ATMS). Monitor and control traffic signal and ITS operations in real-time. The modern interface turns rookies into power users in no time. And it allows experienced users to quickly leverage the power of more advanced features. A comprehensive intersection editor provides a holistic view of operations by mapping things such as:

• Lane maneuvers
• Vehicle or multimodal detectors
• Signal heads
• Controllers

The same map can easily be replicated for alternate applications like adaptive signal control or connected vehicles – boosting efficiency and saving time.

Underscoring Q-Free’s open approach to data and collaborative systems, Kinetic Signals strictly adheres to NTCIP protocols. By empowering users to add any NTCIP-compliant controller, the system reduces the need to manage legacy and new central systems during integration. In addition, Q-Free’s data prism API comes standard.

As part of Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility platform, Kinetic Signals is built on a modern tech stack developed and used by tech giants providing a scalable solution for today and into the future.

Kinetic Signs

Kinetic® Signs is a system-wide sign management solution that gives users complete control over their dynamic message signs regardless of vendor. Using an intuitive message editor, users can manage nearly every aspect of the appearance of messages, including formatting, color, font, and priority. Schedule and post messages individually or simultaneously with our what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor. The editor also validates messages across a variety of sign styles, prompting users to update truncated text.

As part of Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility platform, Kinetic Signs leverages a modern tech stack developed and used by tech giants and financial institutions the world over. Easily scale and integrate with other Kinetic applications for a more holistic approach to transportation management. Integrate with Kinetic Events to automatically post critical information with commuters, such as weather warnings, travel times, and incident or emergency response management.
