Great whitepaper about how Surtrac - which already delivers 20% avg traffic delay improvement - can deliver an additional 20-40% when connected travelers share their route. It also introduces a new funding model allowing cities to deploy the solution at no upfront cost.
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! bit.ly/2OnIcBO
Thrilled to help @Miovision and Ocean State Signal reduce traffic congestion in Quincy, MA - our #Surtrac software is even optimizing HAWK or pedestrian-only intersections. Stay tuned for more soon about our Quincy deployment... bit.ly/3kR1RGC
