Miovision, founded in 2005 by three University of Waterloo students, has steadily evolved into a global leader in intelligent traffic management, operating in 64 countries, managing over 120,000 intersections across 17,000 municipalities. Rooted in the belief that cities deserve to control their data and systems, Miovision offers municipalities modern, scalable tools designed to cut travel times, reduce congestion, speed up emergency response, and create cleaner, safer streets.
From a Simple Need to a Powerful Ecosystem
Launched in Kitchener, Ontario, Miovision grew from a simple need,digitizing manual traffic counts, into a technology-driven mission focusedon smart cities. Its founders observed that decades-old infrastructure andoutdated data collection methods were failing modern urban demands.In response, they introduced advanced computer-vision and AI systemscapable of capturing real-time multimodal traffic insights.
Today, Miovision powers a comprehensive ecosystem of smart mobility tools. It starts with Data Collection and Traffic Studies, capturing deep insights into how people and vehicles move through urban spaces. Using AI-powered analytics, Miovision identifies key opportunities to enhance traffic flow. Monitor your network with multimodal Video Detection, and make data-driven decisions with Performance measures (ATSPMs). Signals are adapted and connected to respond dynamically to real-world conditions with Adaptive, improving mobility for everyone. Continuous Safety Monitoring adds another layer of intelligence by identifying near-misses and potential risks before they become serious incidents. Priority and Preemption technologies give emergency, transit and freight vehicles faster, safer passage, while V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) solutions enable vehicles to interact with intersections, vulnerable road users and their surroundings.
Accelerating Innovation Through Strategic Acquisitions
Miovision’s growth is driven by a strategic focus on innovation and targeted acquisitions that provide more capabilities and value to its customers. The acquisition of Traffop brought in a leading ATSPM platform, enabling agencies to intuitively analyze and visualize signal performance across North America. With Rapid Flow, Miovision added adaptive signal control technology to optimize real-time traffic flow, improve safety and reduce congestion. The addition of MicroTraffic enhanced safety offerings through predictive analytics that accurately detect near-misses and help prevent collisions. GTT (Opticom) introduced emergency and transit signal priority, cutting response times by up to 25% at more than 90,000 intersections. Through TTS, Miovision accelerated its connected vehicle strategy, enabling real-time signal data sharing to boost both safety and efficiency. Finally, acquiring CJ Hensch & Associates strengthened data collection and modeling capabilities in Texas, allowing Miovision to better support local transportation needs.
Celebrating Success, Fueling the Future
In 2024, CEO Kurtis McBride was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year® (Ontario), recognizing his leadership in driving innovation. That same year, Miovision was recognized as a Technology Fast 50™ Enterprise Industry Leader and named one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies. They were also honored as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2025, highlighting their commitment to a more sustainable future in transportation.
Miovision solutions are making a global impact – delivering over 10 trillion SPaT messages, counting more than 30 billion vehicles and 1.5 billion pedestrians, and analyzing 23 million hours of video. Today, their technology is used in 68 countries, helping cities around the world improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and make smarter data-driven decisions.
Lyne Jacques, Chief Revenue Officer: Since joining in 2021, Lyne has leveraged over 26 years of experience to align Miovision’s go-to-market strategy with the evolving needs of its customers. She leads global sales, marketing, and customer experience, all focused on accelerating growth. “Driving revenue isn’t just about numbers, it’s about delivering value cities can rely on to solve real mobility challenges.”
Safer Streets for Stronger, Healthier Communities
Miovision’s technology transforms ordinary intersections into smart, responsive spaces that adapt to the needs of communities in real time. By unlocking data-driven insights, their solutions help cut travel times and reduce congestion, make streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, and speed up emergency response when every second counts. They also contribute to cleaner air by reducing vehicle idling, support the development of more walkable, livable neighborhoods, and empower city planners with accurate data based on real-world traffic patterns.
What sets Miovision apart is its position as a fully integrated traffic management platform, delivering real results without disrupting city infrastructure. Cities using Miovision have seen up to a 30% reduction in commute times – achieved without the need for costly or time-consuming construction. It’s a smarter, faster way to improve mobility.
Proudly built in Canada, Miovision stands at the forefront of innovation in intelligent mobility.
