Transportation Departments across U.S. Select HERE to Provide Real Time Traffic
HERE has recently been selected by the Georgia, Alabama and Missouri State Departments of Transportation as the provider of probe based Traffic Services. This data enables the DOTs to communicate to drivers up-to-the-minute information about current traffic conditions and travel times. The agencies also utilize HERE data for traffic operations, situational awareness, and performance management, including bottleneck identification, trend spotting, construction planning, 'before and after' traffic studies and more. To read more about this, check out a recent announcement here.
The Missouri DOT has come up with some creative uses of the HERE data to make both operational and tactical decisions. MoDOT has set up its traffic software to provide HERE-powered text message alerts to its staff, filtered for the roads or regions for which they bear responsibility. This allows them to quickly react to situations either by putting messages onto dynamic message signage, or by dispatching teams to tackle the problem at the scene. To learn about how the Missouri DOT's is tackling 'snow fights' using HERE data, click here.
