iNET® – Smart Mobility Solutions
For decades, Parsons has helped the world move smarter through its iNET® Smart Mobility Platform, ATMS software that municipalities, cities, and states use to enhance the livability of their communities. Real-time data from cameras and sensors is collected and analyzed to detect incidents and manage traffic, optimizing the transportation network to get people to where they need to be. By applying state-of-the-art operational solutions and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and new virtual traffic operator capabilities, Parsons iNET® helps agencies improve the management, efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of transportation networks big or small – whether freeway, highway, toll road, transit route, tunnel, or arterial road. This presentation will provide an overview of the iNET® platform and three real-world case studies.

Road and Port Expansion for the Global Markets
Hatch was retained as Prime Design Consultant on Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s award-winning Centerm Expansion Project. This project enhances the existing terminal to meet the rising demand for container shipping, increasing throughput by 66% to 1.5 million TEUs while expanding its physical footprint by only 15%. Upgrades included revising the terminal layout, provision of new equipment and remodelling an historic building to a state-of-the-art operations centre. Key to the increased throughput was also improvement to offsite logistics, namely rail and road upgrades. This included a road overpass designed and constructed within a very tight corridor to separate rail and road traffic, eliminating delays and increasing traffic capacity. Extensive collaboration with third party stakeholders was successfully undertaken to minimize disruption and impacts to existing infrastructure. The project achieved Envision Platinum and LEED Gold certifications and involved many innovative solutions to maintain terminal operations throughout the construction phase.
