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
