McCain’s Transparity® TMS to Power MTO’s Signalized Intersections

In a sweeping agreement to upgrade traffic management software in Canada’s most populated
province, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) has approved a plan to install McCain
Inc.’s Transparity Traffic Management System (TMS) to control more than 500 signalized
intersections. Rollout of the new software is expected to begin in the second quarter. Transparity
TMS has a successful track record in Canada, including a similarly-sized deployment in Winnipeg,
Manitoba.
Longtime McCain Canadian partner and distributor, Innovative Traffic Solutions Inc., (ITS)
secured the agreement.
Developed by McCain Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SWARCO Group and a leader in the
supply of intelligent transportation solutions for safety and mobility, Transparity TMS is a
centralized system that proactively manages traffic flow and promotes mobility with real-time
traffic data collection and management tools.
The entire network will primarily be controlled from the MTO’s traffic management center in St.
Catherines, Ontario, but Transparity TMS also enables each district to manage the system from
their own locations.
The flexibility of Transparity TMS plays perfectly into Ontario’s unique traffic management needs.
While much of the population is centered around major cities in the GTAH (Greater Toronto Area
and Hamilton), Ottawa, and Windsor, the province also includes sparsely populated regions, all
of which will be controlled by Transparity TMS.
McCain Chief Operating Officer Greg McKhann says the Ontario package showcases the best of
Transparity TMS. “In designing the Transparity platform, we recognized that adaptability to
dynamic environments is critical to our customers,” he said. “With the pace of technological
innovation in traffic management, we are committed to creating products that not only outlive
the current cycle but thrive well into the future.”
