SERVICES

Our experts specialize in

Traveler Information & In-Vehicle Alerts

We provide in-vehicle alerts for work zones and traffic queues, plus V2X messaging that warns drivers of hazards in real time.

Intersection Safety

We detect near-misses, lane violations, speeding, and dilemma-zone risk through video analytics, then apply responsive signal timing based on real-time conditions.

Work Zone Safety

We detect work zone intrusions through video analytics and deploy wearable alerts that warn crews of approaching danger.

Proactive Traffic Management Center (TMC) Operations

We use advanced systems that continuously monitor roadway network conditions, detect and escalate events and hand off to staff for validation and response all in real time.

Tolling & Managed Lanes

We support dynamic, real-time pricing and provide performance monitoring and reliability reporting for managed lanes.

Predictive Network Operations

We fuse camera, detector, signal, and probe data with what-if scenario modeling to forecast congestion and events before they happen.

Asset Management

We use video-based condition monitoring for signage, markings, and signal hardware, and build capital replacement strategies for aging ITS assets.

Planning

We help agencies decide where and how to invest, through ITS/TSMO strategic planning, corridor studies, signal retiming, Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA), ITS architecture, and funding and P3 strategy.

Advisory

We help agencies make the right calls before and during delivery, through owner’s representative services, technology vendor evaluation, program governance, standards development, and policy guidance.

Design

We translate ITS concepts into engineering-ready plans, covering signal, detection systems, field devices and the communications infrastructure that connects them back to the TMC.

Implementation

We deliver practical solutions in phases, from initial pilots to full network rollout, with construction and deployment oversight and performance metrics at every stage.

Integration

We make sure new technology works with what agencies already have, integrating software and field devices into existing systems and testing interoperability across platforms.

Operations & Maintenance

We keep deployed ITS systems running well after go-live, through ongoing monitoring, system upkeep, and performance tracking over time.

Training

We build agency staff capability through hands-on training on the ITS systems we design and deploy, so teams can operate and maintain them with confidence.

Staff Augmentation

We work in blended teams with agency staff for scalable capacity, including TMC staff augmentation and knowledge transfer.

At the forefront of ITS

WSB’s ITS services are transforming how communities move. By leveraging real-time data, advanced digital tools, and multidisciplinary expertise, we deliver solutions that enhance safety, reduce congestion, and create more reliable networks. Our intelligent traffic systems integrate seamlessly across modes of transportation, driving efficiency and supporting environmental goals.

Through collaboration, we implement innovative transportation systems that address today’s needs and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges. We are a team of design and consulting experts that are curious about the world around us and drive forward with our clients to achieve their visions.

All Projects

City of Edina – Blake Road Corridor Improvements

Blake Road serves as an important travel route for the city of Edina, Minnesota. The road is highly traveled, as it is the only North-South route between various freeways surrounding the area. The existing roadway was visibly aging and contained two T-intersections, which posed safety threats due to a lack of stop signs.

MnDOT – Minnesota Autonomous Bus Pilot Project

The Minnesota Autonomous Bus Pilot Project explored autonomous bus technology performance in challenging Midwest weather conditions. WSB’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) team led a comprehensive two-phase study to assess vehicle and infrastructure requirements for safe and efficient operations during Minnesota’s cold and snowy winters.
