Western Systems Partners With Denver To Elevate Smart City Goals With New Tech

In a significant move towards enhancing urban mobility and sustainability, Western Systems has joined forces with the City and County of Denver under the Denver Smart City Program. This collaboration aims to tackle pressing urban challenges such as congestion, safety, and environmental impact through innovative traffic management solutions. At the heart of this partnership is the deployment of Western Systems' P PLUS cabinet with Integrated Battery Backup System (BBS), a solution that promises to keep Denver's intersections operational during power outages while prioritizing road-user safety.

The P PLUS cabinet is a testament to Western Systems' commitment to innovation, offering optimized space and accessibility within traffic cabinets. This design not only addresses immediate urban mobility challenges but also aligns with the Denver Smart City Program's focus on sustainability, connected mobility, and innovative partnerships. The integrated Traffic Signal Control and BBS in the P PLUS cabinet ensure maximum efficiency, easy maintenance, and adaptability to future mobility needs, thereby enhancing the city's resilience.

Installation of 11 P PLUS cabinets is currently underway, marking a critical phase in this strategic partnership. Western Systems is working closely with Denver officials to ensure the timely deployment of these cabinets. This initiative is part of a broader effort under the Denver Smart City Program to promote connected mobility, healthy places, living labs, and effective data management.

Brent L. Thomas, DOTI CA2750 Manager at the City and County of Denver, lauded the partnership's focus on innovation and collaboration. He emphasized that this initiative is poised to significantly improve the quality of life for Denver residents by addressing key urban challenges. Zach Hoiting, Senior Vice President at Western Systems, echoed this sentiment, highlighting their dedication to delivering customized, innovative solutions that drive positive change for communities while emphasizing sustainability.

This collaboration between Western Systems and the City and County of Denver represents a significant milestone in the quest for smarter, more sustainable urban mobility solutions. By focusing on efficient space utilization, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced safety and connectivity, this partnership sets a new standard for traffic management systems in smart cities.
