Traffic sucks. Luckily, smart people are looking into making cities smarter and reducing congestion.
Rapid Flow Technologies was spun out of Carnegie Mellon University with the goal of introducing new Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies into the marketplace. Rapid Flow was created to commercialize the Surtrac adaptive traffic signal control technology developed in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon. I spoke with CEO Griffin Schultz, who was brought in to lead business development efforts for the young startup. Griffin has an MBA from The Wharton School at UPenn and has previously worked with successful tech startups, as the Assistant Deputy Mayor for the City of Philadelphia, and other offices in state and federal government.

For years, we've been told that the only solution to our growing traffic congestion problem is to build more roads and expand public transit. While this might be a good short-term solution, in many cities, it's not realistic or practical. Also, with the increasing traffic congestion comes an increasing number of time spent in your car time sitting still on the freeway (going nowhere), time waiting at intersections (for green lights), and time spent dealing with vehicle breakdowns, etc. 12/10/2022 07:13:11 am
A lot of us don't realize that traffic congestion may be killing us. The average commute time for people in the United States was 25 minutes and 38 seconds. That's just an insane amount of time spent commuting on a daily basis. But, being forced to drive because you can't afford an alternative has become an issue I think we can fix in a big way.
