North Carolina selects HERE to manage traffic congestion
The North Carolina
Department of Transportation recently selected HERE, the location cloud
company, as the provider of probe-based, Real-Time Traffic services to enhance
driver safety and improve traffic congestion, making North Carolina the eighth
state along the eastern seaboard to utilize HERE Real-Time Traffic. With
real-time traffic data from HERE, NCDOT will be able to communicate
up-to-the-minute information about current traffic conditions and travel times
on dynamic signs on the roadways. HERE Real-Time Traffic services combine
location technology and big data analytics to create a powerful new traffic
management tool for transportation departments around the country. HERE is also
working with transportation agencies to deploy connected vehicle technologies
and close the loop between vehicles and infrastructure.
