Title:

Digital Intersection GHG Reduction Estimation Project

Agreement Number:

1029018

Agreement Value:

$7,884,402.23

Agreement Date:

Mar 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

Transportation is responsible for 25% of Canada’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with passenger cars and light trucks responsible for nearly half of that total, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (C02). Traffic congestion is part of the problem. A 2009 University of California study showed that reducing congestion – keeping traffic flowing at moderate speeds and smoothing traffic so that there are fewer accelerations and decelerations – can reduce C02 emissions from vehicle traffic by approximately 30%.This project will produce a modern traffic signal infrastructure using digital technologies capable of optimizing traffic signal timing to reduce congestion and the GHG emissions it causes. It will also create a global standard for quantifying the resulting GHG emission reductions, enabling cities and towns to measure the contribution improving traffic makes to reaching Canada’s GHG reduction targets.
