Rapid Flow Technologies

Welcome, Rapid Flow | Miovision Miovision provides cities with modern tools to fix today's traffic problems. We offer solutions that collect multimodal traffic data and uncover actionable insights, helping municipalities get more out of their road network.

Adding Miovision detection to Surtrac creates a true multimodal traffic control system that optimizes for everyone in real-time. Today, we’re announcing that Miovision will serve as the exclusive solution provider for Surtrac in Canada. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/09/28/2304506/0/en/Miovision-Secures-an-Adaptive-Partner.html

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!

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.

After deploying Surtrac at Morrill’s Corner, the busiest intersection in Maine, the city of Portland has experienced a 20% reduction in delays and a 16% reduction in travel time. Read more about Surtrac’s impact.

Portland Reduces Delays by 20% at Maine’s Busiest Traffic Intersection After Surtrac Deployment After deploying the Surtrac adaptive traffic signal control system, the city of Portland experienced a 20% reduction in delays and a 16% reduction in travel time through the “Morrill’s Corner” intersection system.

Optimizing traffic flows every second, Surtrac adapts in real-time to reduce congestion in areas with dynamic traffic patterns. See what makes Surtrac the leading traffic control solution on the market!

Surtrac – Intelligent Traffic Signal Control Unlike other systems which may take minutes to respond to changes in traffic, Surtrac adapts in real-time to changing traffic by optimizing traffic flows every second. Surtrac coordinates traffic flows on complex grids, not just on arterials or corridors. Learn more about Rapid Flow Technologies

Designed to be minimally invasive at each intersection, Surtrac is generally agnostic to the type of detection and signal controller in place which allows cities to use existing equipment investments. Read more on Surtrac implementation!

Implementing Surtrac – A Smart Traffic Control System Learn more about implementing Surtrac from Rapid Flow Technologies. Surtrac is a real time, smart traffic signal system. Get an overview of what you would need to implement Surtrac in your city and the general requirements needed to run the smart traffic technology.

Surtrac Adaptive Traffic Control optimizes for all travelers, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit. The technology is also equipped to handle Connected & Autonomous Vehicles. Read more about our smart city traffic system.

Smart Traffic Control for All Modes of Travel Surtrac optimizes for all travelers, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and connected vehicles. With advanced sensing, different modes can be modeled around their actual behavior, reducing delay for everyone. Surtrac is optimized for multi-modal traffic flows.
