Rapid Flow Technologies

Our Co-Founder, Stephen Smith, Ph.D., recently authored a whitepaper about how our Routecast communication system allows multi-modal travelers to share route information with Surtrac to achieve up to 40% additional traffic delay improvement. Learn more!

Combining Connected Vehicle and Multi-Modal Tech with Adaptive Traffic Control Systems to Decrease Traffic Congestion Co-Founder, Stephen Smith, publishes whitepaper on combining Connected Vehicle (CV) and Multi-Modal Traveler Communication Technology with Adaptive Traffic Control Systems to improve traffic delay.

Surtrac has helped drivers and cities reduce travel time, decrease emissions, improve safety, and prepare for a multi-modal and CAV (Connected & Autonomous Vehicle) future. Learn more about the benefits of Surtrac smart traffic signal control.

Benefits of Surtrac Smart Traffic Signal Control Instead of basing signal timings on traffic models that are minutes, days, or years old, Surtrac optimizes signal timings second by second based on the current traffic on the road. Surtrac enables truly smart traffic signals and a true real-time response. See if your city can benefit from Surtrac.

After successful commercial deployments in several major US cities, Rapid Flow Technologies is introducing the numerous benefits of Surtrac to the broader adaptive traffic signal control market.

About Rapid Flow & Surtrac Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Rapid Flow Technologies was spun out from Carnegie Mellon University with the goal of introducing new intelligent transportation systems technologies to the marketplace. This includes Surtrac adaptive traffic signal control technology.
