What Clearview Intelligence does

Clearview Intelligence Ltd is a privately held UK intelligent transport systems (ITS) provider founded in 1974, headquartered in Milton Keynes with a secondary office in Glasgow. The company designs, manufactures, and supports an integrated portfolio comprising the cloud-based Insight Data Management Platform, a family of SolarLite solar-powered active road studs (Flush, Surface, S381, Path) and IRS2 hardwired road studs, and the Connex modular hardware range (Vision video analytics, Active LiDAR classifier, Traffic counter with ML classification), plus the M680 inductive-loop count/classification device. Underlying technology integrates proprietary sensors, AI-driven video analytics, LiDAR, and machine-learning classification algorithms trained across multiple vehicle-class schemes, with REST API, MQTT, JSON/XML, and ONVIF integrations for third-party systems.

The company serves UK local authorities, county councils, highway authorities, parking operators, National Highways, Network Rail, and transport consultants, with international reach through a global distributor network spanning Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales (road studs, sensors, classifiers), cloud-based software subscriptions to the Insight platform, and professional services for deployment and configuration. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts; no public pricing is disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, supplemented by extensive industry event participation (ITS World Congress, Intertraffic Amsterdam, Highways UK, TTF Conference) and a content marketing programme including webinars, case studies, and professional association memberships (ITS UK, LCRIG, Road Safety GB, RoSPA, IHE).

The business holds certifications that act as procurement gatekeepers in the UK highways and rail sectors, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Cyber Essentials Plus, National Highways Sector Scheme 8, DfT Type Approval for SolarLite S381, and Network Rail approval for SolarLite Surface Stud. Recent strategic activity has concentrated on AI-enabled product launches (Connex Vision, Connex Active LiDAR), expansion into the rail vertical, and active travel infrastructure (SolarLite Path Stud), with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures.
