VMS2DASH, eCall, Road Incident Management, Topics on GEWI Traffic Technologies Tour
In September, GEWI's Traffic Technologies Tour (TTT) will visit several cities in North America to meet with public agencies for an information exchange about traffic technologies being used worldwide. Current requested topics include VMS2DASH, eCall, Connected Work Zones and Road Incident Management. The agenda is tailored to the specific interests of each public agency.
Founded in 1992, GEWI's TIC Software is used for a variety of traffic projects worldwide. The TTT is an important part of GEWI's product development process and the information exchange benefits public agencies by learning how traffic issues have been addressed globally as well as discussing emerging technologies and trends.
Currently there is one open spot on the TTT for the week of 14 September. Any agency interested in participating in the tour or a follow-up webinar should contact jim.oneill@gewi.com
