MetroCountBorn from a local engineer’s idea in Fremantle, Western Australia, MetroCount makes Australian-made traffic counters and analysis software for measuring vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. Since 1991, its low-power systems have supplied traffic data in more than 135 countries, including through its distinctive pneumatic-tube counters and newer micromobility monitoring technology. The company also provides remote diagnostics and scheduled data delivery, helping road authorities collect dependable information without routine site visits.GLEN BURNIE, MD
Robotic Maintenance VehiclesBorn from Pioneer Industrial Systems’ effort to make highway maintenance safer, Robotic Maintenance Vehicles builds truck-mounted robotic systems for roadwork, beginning with its patented Robotic Crack Sealer. The Toledo-based company integrates a FANUC robot with crack-sealing equipment and AI vision so one operator can maintain pavement while staying inside the vehicle, collecting detailed work data along the way. RMV is also developing additional road-maintenance platforms, including a traffic rover and robotic pothole filler.MONCLOVA, OH
RoadPrintzBorn from a Cleveland traffic-council question about why road markings still required dangerous, labor-intensive stenciling, RoadPrintz makes robotic systems for painting detailed pavement markings. Founded by automotive-systems specialist Sam Bell and Case Western Reserve robotics professor Wyatt Newman, the company introduced its patented Electra system in 2022, allowing an operator to direct a robot from inside a truck cab instead of working on foot in traffic.CLEVELAND, OH
Strawser Construction IncSince 1976, Strawser Construction Inc. has helped Midwestern communities extend the life of their highways, streets, and roads through pavement-preservation construction and products. Now part of Barrett Industries, the company combines field services with a Cincinnati research and development laboratory that designs and tests roadway solutions for cities, counties, DOTs, and private owners. Its work is aimed at keeping existing pavement safer and serviceable longer, rather than waiting for more costly reconstruction.COLUMBUS, OH
