GEWI Completes North American Traffic Technologies Tour – Webinar to Follow in January
GEWI would like to thank everyone involved in hosting and attending our first ever North American Traffic Technologies Tour. Topics included technologies that are used around the world for location referencing and harmonization, data exchange between systems, next generation of real-time data for traffic navigation, and data exchange for connected vehicles/infrastructure projects. We had many requests from locations and attendees we were unable to honor, so please look for a follow-up webinar to be held in January 2011. If you'd like to receive notification of this event, visit www.gewi.com and register for the GEWI newsletter, or contactjim.oneill@gewi.com.
