Kansas City, MO, June 27, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Rhythm Engineering, LLC is proud to announce that it has won the contract for the upgrade of the traffic signal control system to be installed along the Kansas City Streetcar corridor in mid-2015. The Kansas City Streetcar project, known as KC Streetcar, is a two-mile line that runs through downtown Kansas City, largely on Main Street, and connects River Market on the north to Crown Center and Union Station on the south.
Since the new streetcar system will run on existing street lanes in the middle of the Central Business District, Crossroads Art District and the Power and Light District, traffic signal synchronization is crucial for alleviating any potential traffic congestion that may arise. Rhythm Engineering offers the perfect solution, using its newly developed adaptive technology, In|Sync®, which integrates signal timing, traffic volumes, and computerized real-time tracking. Their system, once installed, will control 21 signals along this streetcar corridor.
According to Reggie Chandra, PE, CEO of Rhythm Engineering, “We are honored to have this opportunity to make a difference in our own home community. Kansas City has proven that it is very serious in its intention to become a truly 'smart' city and we are glad to be part of the initiative. Rhythm Engineering always has been proud to be called a Kansas City company as we make a difference to motorists in 31 states and 128 cities.”
These modifications will be installed by Rhythm’s traffic technicians and optimized by traffic engineers to ensure that the streetcar can move safely and efficiently alongside car and bus traffic. Rhythm Engineering joins other subcontractors, including Cisco, Comanche Construction, Reynolds Electric, Trekk Design, and others, under the direction of the project team led by KC Streetcar Constructors, a joint venture partnership of Herzog Contracting Corp. of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. of Alameda, California.
