What Traffic Technology Services does

Traffic Technology Services, Inc. (TTS) is a privately held Information-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider of predictive traffic signal and dynamic roadway sign data for connected and automated vehicle applications. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, with wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Munich (TTS Europe GmbH) and Beijing (TTS Beijing Co., Ltd.), TTS operates a cloud-based platform that connects vehicles to traffic signal and freeway infrastructure through secure API integrations with municipal traffic management centers. The platform applies data fusion, machine learning, and simulation to predict signal phase and timing up to five minutes in advance, exposing standardized MAP/SPAT messages and a Personal Freeway Assistant data feed to automotive OEMs, fleet operators, and smart city analytics providers.

TTS's commercial portfolio centers on two branded products: Personal Signal Assistant®, which delivers GLOSA (Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory), red-light countdown, and predictive timing data to in-vehicle systems, and Personal Freeway Assistant, which feeds dynamic speed limit, lane closure, and hard shoulder running information (advertised at 99% sign accuracy) to drivers and autonomous vehicle stacks. The underlying technology stack includes 9 patent families (99 patents) and integrates with all major Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) vendors — Cubic-Trafficware, Econolite, Kapsch, Kimley-Horn, McCain, PEEK, Q-Free/Intelight, Siemens, TransCore, and Yunex — enabling TTS to ingest data from heterogeneous city and state DOT systems.

The company monetizes via recurring subscription licenses to OEMs and agencies, anchored by a flagship partnership with Audi that powers Audi's Traffic Light Information (TLI) service and currently spans 22,000+ connected intersections across 60+ U.S. agencies. TTS also holds 150+ government data authorization agreements covering 48,000+ signalized intersections globally, which it reports as representing over 10% of all signalized intersections in North America. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to OEMs and DOTs with channel partnerships through ATMS vendors (including Kapsch TrafficCom, which is also a strategic shareholder), Heusch/Boesefeldt for DACH-region freeway data, and Intelematics for Australia. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and operates with a team of approximately 40+ engineers, scientists, and managers.
