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,
