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 with much less dynamic traffic patterns. Surtrac optimizes for many modes of travel, keeping vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit moving and safe.
Surtrac is proven in the field to yield significant improvement over conventional traffic signal timing and other adaptive systems. Travel times have been reduced by 25%, time spent waiting at signals by 40%, stops by 30%, and emissions by 20%.
