Why Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Matters
The cheapest option upfront isn’t always the most cost-effective in the long run. Traditional detection systems like inductive loops and cameras come with hidden costs—frequent repairs, recalibrations, and limited adaptability to weather conditions. Our TCO Calculator helps you look beyond the initial price tag to evaluate long-term value, ensuring a smarter investment for your traffic management needs.
Why Choose LiDAR?
Fewer Sensors Required
For most intersections, only two LiDAR sensors are required to cover all approaches and detect all road users.
Low Maintenance
No in-ground installation or frequent recalibrations
All Weather Performance
Reliable and accurate in rain, snow, fog and low-light conditions.
Highest Accuracy
With a 99% proven accuracy rate, SIMPL provides unparallel accuracy in detecting and classifying different types of road users.
Scalable Technology
From direct integrations with card networks and banks to checkout flows in the browser, we operate on and optimize at every level of the financial stack.
