ITS World Congress: US rollout for GovComm’s life-saving Wrong Way Vehicle Detection System

GovComm, provider of artificial intelligence-enhanced wrong-way vehicle detection systems (WWVDS), has announced that its highly accurate wrong-way vehicle detection technology – previously deployed extensively in Florida – is rapidly expanding to agencies and departments of transportation nationwide.

This accelerated expansion is made possible by GovComm’s acquisition by transportation safety infrastructure specialists Synapse ITS. GovComm joined the Synapse ITS family of brands in June 2025, united by a shared commitment to developing and delivering best-in-class, intelligent traffic safety solutions. Synapse ITS is investing significant support and resources into GovComm’s technology, ensuring expedited growth and innovation in this critical safety space.

“The GovComm system has redefined wrong-way vehicle detection in Florida,” said Dan Skites, Executive Vice President, Sales, Synapse ITS. “This national rollout reflects our commitment to helping agencies across the U.S. adopt smarter, safer roadway systems. We’re proud to bring unmatched accuracy and reliability to communities nationwide — there’s no question that this technology will significantly reduce dangerous incidents.”

GovComm is one of just six wrong-way vehicle detection systems on the Florida Department of Transportation’s approved list and accounts for more deployments than all others combined, with over 400 installs in Florida. Florida DOT’s systemic deployment of GovComm systems has helped prevent wrong way crashes using breakthrough processing technology deterrents and sending real-time alerts to traffic management centers.

The GovComm solution stands apart for its ability to significantly reduce false alerts and confirm wrong-way vehicle events in real time using advanced artificial intelligence and bi-spectrum cameras with integrated sensors. Through the accelerated GovComm expansion backed by Synapse ITS, transportation agencies across the country can now access this proven, safety-critical technology to better protect drivers and reduce fatalities from wrong-way crashes.

GovComm will showcase the system’s capabilities at the upcoming ITS World Congress in Atlanta, taking place August 24-28. Attendees can visit booth 705 to see the technology first-hand.
