Who’s REALLY Controlling Traffic?
With the proliferation of navigation devices, GEWI has noted a global trend of drivers relying
less on traditional means of traffic information distribution in favor of
in-vehicle, smartphone and portable navigation devices. This can have a
negative impact in the ability of a public agency to control traffic
information distribution, but GEWI has a solution. TIC is used by a wide range of customer types, used for a wide range of traffic
solutions. For more information, visit booth #712 at ITS America, or
