Q-Free introduces Dynamic™ Signals, a new local traffic signal controller software designed with meaningful cybersecurity at its core. Built on the trusted logic of Q-Free’s MAXTIME, Dynamic Signals brings modern IT practices to the intersection with end-to-end encrypted & authenticated communications, a secure API architecture, and support for federated authentication when paired with Q-Free’s Kinetic® Mobility platform.
The software addresses long-standing risks associated with legacy protocols used in signal control by enabling authenticated, encrypted data exchange between field devices and central systems. For agencies, that means alignment with enterprise security expectations while preserving the advanced signal functionality engineers rely on—coordination, signal priority, ATSPMs, and more—through an intuitive, web-based UI.
Dynamic Signals integrates with Kinetic Mobility to support centralised user management and role-based access, helping agencies close common gaps in account lifecycle and field access control. Q-Free notes that its cloud-hosted Kinetic Mobility services maintain independent SOC 2 attestation, reflecting the company’s broader commitment to secure operations across the stack.
“Cybersecurity is no longer optional for critical infrastructure,” says Mark Talbot, CEO of Q-Free. “Dynamic Signals gives agencies a modern foundation that meets both operational needs and IT security expectations without compromising performance.”
Whitney Nottage, P.E., PTOE, EVP Traffic Management, adds: “As vehicles and infrastructure become more connected, intersections need protections that match today’s threat landscape. Dynamic Signals brings the encryption, authentication, and openness agencies have been asking for—at the edge where it matters.”
Dynamic Signals is available now, with live demonstrations and training resources supporting deployments for agencies seeking a secure, scalable path forward for intersection control.
