Emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority specialist Lyt says its platform has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity excellence.

SOC 2 Type 2 is a standard established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. It ensures adherence to the key principles of security - protection against unauthorised access and safeguarding sensitive data from breaches – and availability: that is, an assurance that systems are in operation and are reliable and resilient.

Lyt said that it has embedded encryption protocols, conducted rigorous audits and invested heavily in training and technology to ensure its platforms remain resilient to evolving cybersecurity threats. “Cybersecurity isn’t just a checkbox for us. It’s the foundation of everything we do,” said Dustin Harber, chief technical officer.

“Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance underscores our commitment to delivering innovative urban mobility solutions that municipalities can trust. This milestone reflects our responsibility to the communities we serve by providing secure, reliable, and transformative technologies,” Harber adds.

Lyt's open-architecture, machine-learning technology enables a suite of transit signal priority and emergency vehicle preemption solutions. It uses pre-existing vehicle tracking sensors and city communication networks to dynamically adjust the phase and timing of traffic signals in real-time to provide sufficient green clearance time while minimally impacting cross traffic.

The company is based in California’s Silicon Valley and serves municipalities across the US and Canada.

    Automatic signal control to prevent emergency vehicle collisions?
    Field trials under way in Arizona promise eradication of accidents between emergency vehicles at intersections – as part of a national focus on ‘intelligent signal’ infrastructure. Collisions between police cars, ambulances and fire crews as they reach intersections at the same time, with equal priority given by all signals set on red, are as serious as they sound absurd. For emergency teams and those in need of their help, the consequences are dire. The solution could come from application of connected veh
