T4D Services was founded by the sole owner Dan Brandesky in 2023. Dan identified a need to provide expert services to help agencies improve their traffic operations. Many agencies know that they need to make improvements to their traffic infrastructure, but need assistance to form a plan. Others may have consulting engineers involved in project and plan design but lack the staff to provide feedback for the plans and designs presented to them. Others may have legacy equipment and systems in place that are no longer supported and need help finding a cost-effective path to improved communications and operations. The goal of T4D Services is to aid municipal leaders, administration, and staff in implementing a transportation management system ready for the 21^st century. T4D Services works to bring transportation design concepts to reality, bridging the gap between the two with technology and innovative intersection control techniques.

About Dan

Dan has been passionate about traffic control ever since he was little. He had a collection of poster-board road signs and would stripe a double centerline along the sidewalk with chalk. He imagined traffic signals at driveway intersections and would go through multiple phasing variations at each intersection in his imaginary world. At this point in his life he also believed that the city had to go around and pick up all the road signs every night just like he did!
In high school, Dan began to research historical traffic signal equipment on the internet, and came to know all the different types of equipment, what they did, how they worked, and who manufatured the equipment. By the time Dan entered college he had his own collection of traffic signal control equipment, purchased from eBay and surplus auctions. Dan attended the 2009 Institute of Transportation Engineers expo as a college student studying electrical engineering, and captured the interest of Econolite, an established traffic signal equipment and ITS company. His 2010 summer internship with Econolite was so successful he received an open offer to apply for a job upon his graduation from Ohio State University.
In 2012, Dan took Econolite up on the offer, and accepted a position as a Controller and Systems Support Engineer, where he got to know even more about traffic signal hardware and software, and expanded his knowledge of detection equipment as he supported municipal customers and academic researchers across the United States and Canada. In 2017, Dan joined the software quality assurance team as a Transportation Design Engineer, developing features and test cases for Econolite’s EOS controller software, among many other assignments. In 2022, Dan accepted a promotion to Senior ITS Applications Engineer, working with product management to continue developing features, participate in research projects with USDOT and academic researchers, investigate integration opportunities between detection products and traffic signal controllers, and explore next-generation intersection control technology.
