TCN Fundraiser – That's All Folks!

Those of you of a certain age will remember the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon each Labor Day weekend. Whenever there was a new contribution total to announce, there'd be drum roll and the amount would appear on a big tote board. The TCN fundraiser is a bit more low-budget and less dramatic, but I do want to thank you for your support. It's that support that encourages me to put the newsletter together each day, whether it's a holiday, I'm on vacation, or it's just a run-of-the-mill weekday. Of course, you can still contribute, not just today but anytime that's convenient. If you scroll below you'll find the PayPal link and my address to mail a donation.

North Carolina selects HERE to manage traffic congestion

The North Carolina Department of Transportation recently selected HERE, the location cloud company, as the provider of probe-based, Real-Time Traffic services to enhance driver safety and improve traffic congestion, making North Carolina the eighth state along the eastern seaboard to utilize HERE Real-Time Traffic. With real-time traffic data from HERE, NCDOT will be able to communicate up-to-the-minute information about current traffic conditions and travel times on dynamic signs on the roadways. HERE Real-Time Traffic services combine location technology and big data analytics to create a powerful new traffic management tool for transportation departments around the country. HERE is also working with transportation agencies to deploy connected vehicle technologies and close the loop between vehicles and infrastructure.
