Surface Sensors

Road traffic video technology is a non-intrusive system that serves to detect the movement of identifiable entities that inhabit the road, which in return is used to generate informed decisions that can enhance safety measures, increase the efficiency of traffic flow, and manage deployed assets.

Compact Detection for Modern Traffic Needs

Surface sensors offer above-ground or shallow-mounted solutions for detecting vehicle presence, speed, and direction. Designed to sit on or near the pavement surface, they provide accurate data collection without requiring deep excavation—making them ideal for quick deployment and retrofit projects.

Fast Installation with Minimal Disruption

Unlike traditional in-ground detectors, surface sensors can be installed rapidly with little to no traffic interruption. Their compact size and wireless communication options make them well-suited for both permanent intersections and temporary traffic applications like work zones.

Smart Integration and Scalable Technology

Surface sensors easily integrate with controllers, signal systems, and ITS platforms to support adaptive traffic control and data analytics. Their modular design allows agencies to scale coverage as needed and access actionable insights for more responsive traffic management.

What Our Clients Say About Working with ATS Traffic

Read authentic reviews from businesses and organizations
we’ve served throughout Canada.

Very efficient and nice people working there.

Cory Farley

Google Review, Regina

We rent Signage all the time and ATS has always come through, especially on short notice, emergency work.

Jody Reimer

Google Review, Winnipeg

Very, very friendly and professional staff. I was looking for a very niche item that no where else in town had. Instead of just saying no sorry, they instead went through the hassle of looking through catalogs to see if what I needed could be ordered. They even went as far as to look online and find me a link for what I needed!!! 10/10 recommend.

Ben Harder

Google Review, Langley

I met one of the flaggers and she shared quite a bit of knowledge on flagging laws and took her job seriously… it made me think ATS traffic is a great company to hire when I need flaggers.
