SRF’s Intelligent Transportation Systems/Connected Autonomous Vehicles Group has a rich history of implementing innovative technologies, and we continually look for ways to challenge the status quo and bring in fresh solutions. We are proud to be at the forefront of the next big change in transportation – the advent of connected and autonomous vehicles – a change that will pose challenges and rewards for years to come.
SRF has been a national leader in ITS for more than 30 years. SRF provides start-to-finish services, including research, planning, design, implementation, integration, and evaluation.
Connected & Automated Vehicles
SRF leads the industry in connected and automated vehicle technologies, integrating advanced AI, and V2X communication to enable safer, smarter mobility solutions. With a proven track record in real-world deployments and strategic partnerships, we’re shaping the future of autonomous transportation.
ITS and Fiber Optic Engineering
Our ITS expertise spans the full lifecycle—from design to deployment. We deliver integrated solutions for a full ecosystem of connected infrastructure. From lane use signs and variable toll message signs (VTMS) to variable speed limit signs (VSLs), environmental sensors, and weigh in motion systems, we create cohesive networks that enhance mobility and safety. By leveraging real-time data and advanced analytics, our solutions empower agencies to manage traffic flow, respond to incidents faster, and deliver a seamless travel experience for all road users.
Intelligent Work Zones
SRF has effectively applied technology to mitigate the mobility and safety impacts of construction work zones. We understand when Intelligent Work Zone (IWZ) solutions will have the most impact and have worked closely with DOTs to establish statewide IWZ initiatives, saving lives with technology.
Advanced Traffic Management System Software
SRF staff includes software developers, software engineers, data scientists and analysts that have extensive experience working with various Advanced Traffic Management System Software (ATMS) systems. We work extensively with IRIS software, an open source ATMS solution, where we have installed and managed everything from small campus deployments to full statewide DOT solutions.
Intersection Conflict Warning Systems
Deploying ICWS at stop controlled intersections can have a significant impact on safety. SRF has nationally recognized staff who design and deploy ICWS systems. We understand the nuances of when ICWS are most effective and determine which intersections most benefit from an ICWS treatment.
Transit Technology
SRF has worked extensively with transit agencies to procure and deploy transit technologies. We draw on our systems engineering background to identify user needs and translate that into effective procurements. We also oversee the field deployment of transit systems ranging from real time signs to GPS systems.
Strategic Plans
Proper planning is essential in developing an ITS/CAV program that yields effective results. SRF uses a variety of approaches to engage stakeholders and craft strategic plans that reflect agency needs. SRF has developed a variety of strategic plans, including TSMO and ITS.
Managed Lanes
SRF was involved in all facets of managed lane projects. We were the lead designer on MnDOT’s first High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane under the MnPASS program. We provided construction oversight for toll lane deployments in Colorado and led planning, modeling, and systems engineering for managed lanes in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Electrical Engineering
SRF’s electrical engineering team has a wide range of design expertise. Our capabilities include determining simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to meet client needs in urban, suburban, rural, and remote locations. We also design charging systems for electric vehicles, including buses.
