Core offering

Global Traffic Technologies manufactures and supplies the Opticom traffic signal priority control platform, delivering Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) and Transit Signal Priority (TSP) through Cloud, GPS, and Infrared (IR) communication modes. The company sells intersection hardware (IR receivers, GPS units, intersection controllers), vehicle-mounted Opticom units, and a cloud-connected management service to fire, police, EMS, transit agencies, and municipal departments of transportation.

Product overview

Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), now part of Miovision following acquisition, operates as a product line within Miovision's intelligent transportation platform. The core product is Opticom, a configurable priority control platform offering Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) and Transit Signal Priority (TSP) through three communication modes: Cloud, GPS, and Infrared (IR). Opticom products include Opticom EVP, Opticom TSP, and associated deployment options. These integrate with Miovision's broader platform including Miovision One (unified operations hub), GenAI Agent Mateo (conversational AI), V2X, TrafficLink, Traffop, Surtrac, Controller Manager, Signal Optimizer, Scout Plus, and Continuous Safety Monitoring. The portfolio forms an end-to-end intelligent transportation system covering traffic detection, signal optimization, priority control, and safety monitoring.

Brands

• Opticom: Traffic signal preemption and priority control technology for emergency vehicles and public transit, now owned by Miovision following acquisition of GTT.

Products and services

• Opticom EVP (Emergency Vehicle Preemption) Traffic signal preemption system that gives fire, police, and EMS vehicles priority at intersections, reducing intersection crash rates by up to 70% and improving response times by up to 25%. Sold to public safety agencies.
• Opticom TSP (Transit Signal Priority) Conditional signal priority solution for buses and light rail that reduces schedule variance, improves passenger experience, and reduces fuel consumption while not disrupting emergency vehicle priority. Sold to public transit agencies.
• Opticom IR (Infrared Optical Preemption) Infrared optical preemption technology using line-of-sight communication between vehicle-mounted emitters and intersection detectors. Sold as hardware (vehicle emitters plus intersection receivers) to public safety and transit agencies.
• Opticom GPS-Based Priority Control GPS-based priority control leveraging satellite positioning for precise, reliable vehicle detection without line-of-sight IR emitters. Compatible with existing intersection hardware. Sold to public safety, transit, and DOT agencies.
• EVP Cloud Deployment Cloud-connected emergency vehicle preemption deployment option requiring no hardware changes at intersections, offering fastest deployment path and remote management/analytics capabilities. Sold as a subscription service to public safety and DOT agencies.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Lindsay Transportation Solutions: Lindsay's transportation arm (RoadSafety, Road Zipper, Barrier Systems) supplies roadway safety infrastructure to the same DOTs and municipalities. While not a direct EVP/TSP vendor, it competes in the broader traffic safety procurement budget.
• Federal Signal Corporation: Federal Signal provides public safety vehicle equipment (lightbars, sirens, on-board electronics) sold to the same fire and police agencies. Indirectly competitive where agencies bundle vehicle and intersection safety purchasing.

Direct peers

• Iteris: Iteris provides intelligent transportation systems including traffic signal management, transit priority, and intersection analytics. It sells directly to state DOTs and municipalities that are also core Opticom EVP/TSP buyers.
• SWARCO: SWARCO manufactures traffic signal controllers, V2X infrastructure, and urban traffic management systems across Europe and North America. Competes for the same municipal DOT and emergency services procurement budgets as Opticom.
• Rhythm Engineering (InSync): Rhythm Engineering's InSync adaptive signal control system competes with Opticom TSP/EVP at the intersection level and is often evaluated in the same municipal RFPs for signal modernization.
• Kapsch TrafficCom: Kapsch supplies ITS, tolling, connected vehicle, and traffic management solutions including signal priority components. Targets the same DOT and municipal customers and benefits from global smart-city spend that drives Opticom expansion.
• Tomar Electronics: Tomar builds emergency vehicle warning systems, optical preemption, and intersection warning devices. It is one of the closest niche competitors to Opticom IR-based preemption.
• Cubic Corporation (Cubic Transportation Systems): Cubic's transportation division offers urban ITS solutions including traffic management, adaptive signal control (via Trafficware/InSync), and transit priority integrations. Closely overlaps with Opticom's TSP and broader signal priority offerings for transit agencies.

Emerging players

• HAAS Alert: HAAS Alert provides connected vehicle safety alerting that integrates with Opticom but also could be deployed standalone for emergency vehicle alerts. Represents a software-first competitive angle.
• Applied Information: Applied Information offers cellular-based emergency vehicle preemption and school zone safety solutions that compete with Opticom's cloud deployment mode. An emerging cloud-native alternative.
