HERE selected by I-95 Corridor Coalition for Real-time Traffic
Services
The I-95 Corridor
Coalition announced that they have selected HERE as one of their preferred
providers of real-time traffic services. HERE provides probe-based speed
and travel time data, Cloud-based HERE Platform APIs, and the Iteris iPEMs performance
measurement system. The states will be able to use real-time traffic
information and analytical tools to help monitor traffic and analyze travel
conditions across the roadways.
HERE looks forward to
working with states to enhance operations and provide valuable traveler
information to facilitate the movement of people and
goods along this corridor and throughout the nation. Please contact HERE for a demonstration of these
services.
