Montreal Tackles the SPaT Challenge

August 13, 2019

The Ville de Montréal is actively working towards a future of connected vehicles. As a participant in the North America-wide SPaT Challenge, the city has been improving its infrastructure to support the deployment of V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) communications and pilot projects using signal phase and timing (SPaT) data. This webinar gave an overview of recent upgrades to Montréal’s traffic control system, the broadcast of SPaT data using the MQTT protocol, the development of a smart corridor along Notre-Dame Boulevard, and the operation of an autonomous shuttle pilot project.
