Position Summary

Traffic signal control plays a pivotal role in traffic management, helping to reduce traffic congestion and emissions. Adaptive traffic signal control, as the most advanced technology in this field, offers a real-time solution for optimizing traffic flow based on various detection inputs and the connectivity of road users, including vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians. 

Our Adaptive Control Team is responsible for developing and maintaining Miovision’s adaptive signal control product. The product was originally developed by Rapid Flow Technologies, a startup spun off from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. In 2022, Rapid Flow Technologies was acquired by Miovision. Our product, Surtrac (Scalable Urban Traffic Control), leverages recent advancements in planning, machine learning, optimization, traffic theory, and multi-agent systems, making it one of the most advanced multimodal adaptive signal control systems in the world. It features a decentralized architecture and a real-time, second-by-second optimization algorithm, offering excellent scalability for deployment and the ability to manage highly dynamic traffic. Unlike other adaptive signal control systems, Surtrac performs well not only in corridors but also in urban grid networks.

We are looking for an exceptional software developer who is passionate about applying AI and the latest traffic control technology to improve urban mobility. The developer will work in a talented team to add more features to our existing system and further improve its performance.
