Well we want to talk -- now about a company called rhythm engineering.
And a product called rhythm traffic -- on the right hand side of your -- -- two gentlemen who could talk about this company.
Reggie shot under is the founder David Franklin is the president and the CO OO.
Donna thank you so much for joining us.
-- -- -- -- -- kicking my personal pain I've been traffic incidents since nineteen.
93 and just like you said I was tired of sitting out.
On this site treatment there was nobody on the mean streets so there are 2006 decided to make a difference and fix the problem so how does this work.
-- -- gadget that plugs into any traffic signal.
That -- -- -- traffic demand and synchronize the lights are essentially what we do was he created time tunnel.
From one end of the corridor all the way to other -- so if you are writing its speed limit you are going to be inside that tunnel it's gonna TQ.
From point 82 -- poignancy.
And also.
Did the problem that be described when there is nobody on the main street you are not going to be reading -- for the system is intelligent enough to see that.
The traffic is waiting -- been leading for awhile and it gives the -- David -- customers.
We customers all over the country municipalities are rarely departments of transportation says generally government ourselves.
But at the end and the opportunity we are citizens of the communities in which we sell our customers those -- the ones we're trying to make a difference for.
Give -- -- sales pitch when you go -- and you're dealing with.
Sort of city officials or municipality -- elected officials and you know in the medium sized town and you -- -- tell them buy your product and you wanna get them to invest -- it.
How do you sell to them.
In reality -- is a crisis through nearly every community.
And the -- that we provide it is these peace of mind -- beat the community in traffic engineer but in reality.
We're talking about saving lives -- saving time and fuel and saving the environment.
Because our our technology is improving community deployments that we've had out there to return up to eight million dollars or more a year.
Annualized based on the implementation of our technology so it suited the pace yourself -- very quickly.
No commission may start talking about thirty -- in the crashes.
But only go away.
This is a proven fact red light Ronnie goes away so cruel in fact.
And -- win and become the Traficant an innocent community do realize that when I save 30% crashes out.
For example city of Topeka out of 140 -- that happened on the court or -- and disappeared.
-- that could be a loved one.
Our if you wanna talk numbers one fatality accident cost is a community six million dollars according to triple -- and also.
-- personal injury accident about a 127000.
Dollars.
So.
-- forty -- go away what does that do to the community.
And I liked his -- out personal -- all the it fruit at all the numbers forget about that data -- this statistics.
It could be my daughter that was driving on the court or that I helps states.
Well -- -- you put it that way it's hard not to understand the potential benefits of something like this.
You know I think the most people when they think about.
Is sitting at a red light there it's mostly -- -- thinking about it being convenience of it but when you actually put I human.
Touch to it.
And that kind of a noted some -- that really does hit home because.
Obviously there's a big difference there the data what is the outlay though you say that it it pays for itself.
From an economic standpoint what does it cost per unit -- Traffic -- It's approximately 30000 dollars per interception.
End.
From our perspective in premier -- perspective the more intersections are deployed -- -- introduce her to motorists into the community.
Let me ask you Reggie is someone who who worked in in this field for who has worked in this field for so long we have a comment and our chat room from someone named Griffin 57 -- -- -- some of traffic lights where he or she lives a sequence so badly.
There's no traffic in one direction and -- it's backed up with three blocks.
In the other direction why isn't so tough when you work because the traffic engineer.
Before you came up with this idea why is -- so difficult.
Ford traffic -- likes to be sequence in a way that really could help.
People move more effectively and smoothly.
The -- technology underlying technologies about thirty to fifty years old.
-- -- -- works off of something very similar to what you would see.
You're sprinkler system more -- -- analog -- -- dial so it is very ineffective and Traficant is really cannot synchronized lights.
And I call it a red light synchronization because.
The odd one point -- just -- their arms and say hey I can't.
I can work with this system so not -- a problem we attempt to fix and -- managed to do so very successfully.
David we have people who are watching that's their logged in and watching from all over the country really from all over the world.
So how would people know if if if your product was was in place if if the township where they live the municipality the city.
Was actually using our traffic rhythm.
If they -- really proud I am sorry.
If you want to our website.
-- traffic dot com.
We have -- deployment map that shows -- and this -- corners or deployed instance one way.
New ways to our call what are other traffic in -- city traffic.
Folks and I don't ask and if you don't have to certain she'd asked for.
And unlike enough but I out onto that experiential.
The experience of the -- if you're driving through our record over and you're frustrated with all of a sudden you're able to see that congestion is reduced and you are not stopping.
We have 27 intersections.
A one after the other where people can drive both directions without stopping.
While.
