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.

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.
