Township Of Radnor: November 16, 2021: Traffic Adaptive Signal System Going Live In Radnor Township

Press release from the Township of Radnor:

November 15, 2021

During the Land Development Process for Penn Medicine’s new facility located at 145 King of Prussia Road, Penn Medicine agreed to design and fund a traffic adaptive signal system for thirteen intersections near the site.  What is a traffic adaptive system? Traffic adaptive systems are hardware and software-based systems that adapt traffic signals to the actual demand of traffic. In this case, Rhythm Engineering’s traffic adaptive system was chosen to be installed at the following intersections:

Over the past few months, the traffic adaptive system has been monitoring traffic and gathering data for when the system goes online.  Starting Tuesday, November 16th, the system will be fully operational.  It is possible that adjustments may have to be made to the system once it goes online, so we respectfully ask for your patience during the startup process. Over the next two weeks, representatives from Rhythm Engineering and Radnor Township Police Department will be monitoring the aforementioned intersections to determine if any changes need to be made.

This was a team project including the Penn Medicine Team, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation [PennDOT], and Radnor Township with the goal of addressing traffic congestion in the project area. Many thanks to all!

Please contact Radnor Township Engineer Stephen F. Norcini, PE with any questions or concerns, 610.688.5600 x 130.
