Flow Labs Deploys AI-Powered Traffic Signal Software Across 2,500 North Carolina Intersections in Major Statewide Launch

Flow Labs software delivers statewide visibility, prioritization, and continuous performance reporting—live from day one.

RALEIGH, North Carolina, July 7, 2025 – In a bold move to modernize traffic operations, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has partnered with Flow Labs to deploy its AI-powered traffic signal operations software solution across the state. Now fully operational, the deployment covers over 2,500 intersections, providing comprehensive insights and visibility across North Carolina’s entire signal network.

This marks the largest live statewide deployment of AI-based traffic signal software in the United States, setting a new standard for how quickly and effectively a public agency can modernize operations at scale. The rollout reflects NCDOT’s deep commitment to innovation and its leadership in adopting technology that delivers immediate, measurable impact.

“North Carolina didn’t just invest in a new tool—they embraced a new model for traffic operations,” said Jatish Patel, CEO of Flow Labs. “NCDOT’s leadership and engineering teams are among the most progressive and mission-driven in the nation. Their willingness to act decisively and deploy smarter solutions at scale has made this partnership incredibly rewarding.”

Flow Labs’ platform uses advanced machine learning and high-penetration connected vehicle data to deliver continuous monitoring of intersection performance. Engineers can now detect issues before they escalate, prioritize interventions based on real-world traffic patterns, and improve signal operations without relying on field studies, hardware deployments, or infrastructure changes.

“This isn’t a plan or a future vision—it’s a fully deployed statewide system that’s delivering value today,” Patel added. “We’re proud to support an agency like NCDOT that doesn’t wait for change—they lead it.”

With no need for new hardware or lengthy installations, Flow Labs’ software-first approach provided NCDOT with network-wide insights and reporting capabilities from day one. It represents a growing trend among agencies that are moving beyond traditional methods and turning to scalable, data-driven tools to enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve operations.

“This partnership is built on shared values—innovation, agility, and a deep commitment to public impact,” said Patel. “We’re honored to work alongside NCDOT’s exceptional team and excited for what’s ahead.”

Flow Labs’ platform is currently in use with agencies across the country and continues to demonstrate how modern traffic operations can be transformed with speed, intelligence, and flexibility.
