Traffic Systems & Technology

What Traffic Systems & Technology does

Traffic Systems & Technology (TS&T), operating as Traffic Systems LLC, is a family-owned value-added distributor and integrator of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), traffic management, and lighting infrastructure serving government agencies and contractors across the Mid-Atlantic region (Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina). Founded in 2000 and led by President/Owner Randy Dominick since 2007, the company operates from a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Manassas, Virginia, and supplements its distribution business with the wholly-owned TST Transport Services freight subsidiary established in 2007. Its product portfolio spans detection systems (lidar, radar, virtual loops), camera systems, pedestrian safety equipment, traffic cabinets, display signs, communication equipment, solar-powered traffic control, battery backup, security access control, roadway lighting, and connected vehicle infrastructure.

The underlying technology stack is primarily assembled from 21+ manufacturer partnerships rather than developed in-house, including Ouster (lidar-based Ouster BlueCity intelligent traffic solution), Hanwha Vision America (AI-powered cameras with vehicle detection, license plate recognition, and wrong-way alerting), Axis Communications (network cameras), Iteris (VantageLink remote cabinet management, VantagePriority TSP/EVP, ThruGreen), Millerbernd and Hadco/Lumec by Signify (poles and lighting), Pelco (traffic signal hardware), Swarco (signal portfolio), Cyberlock (electronic access control), and Boschung (road weather information systems). Capabilities span computer vision, anomaly detection, and process automation delivered through integration rather than proprietary model development.

TS&T generates revenue through project-based hardware sales (traffic signals, poles, cabinets, LED lighting, detection, cameras) plus professional services including engineering support, plan design and review, system layout, training, and installation. The go-to-market is sales-led with regional specialists assigned by state, augmented by channel partnerships with manufacturers. Marketing relies on industry-event participation (TRB, ITS Virginia, ITS Maryland, IMSA, OmniAir Plugfest), an annual Vendor Partner Showcase, a Lunch and Learn program, and organic social. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are project-based and directed to government and contractor customers.
