GEWI Announces WZDaaS for USDOT Work Zone Data Initiative  

The USDOT Work Zone Data Initiative (WZDI) has established a data format to enable the exchange of Work Zone data in a standard protocol to provide many benefits for Work Zone safety and planning, avoiding conflicts with other agencies and jurisdictions. To make the adoption of this format easy, GEWI has announced a new hosted Work Zone Data as a Service (WZDaaS) solution which allows agencies to use their existing systems, and be compliant with the new standard.  

WZDaaS also makes Work Zone data available to navigation systems, broadcasters, other systems, and creates CAV compliant data for the emerging automated vehicle market. Agencies looking for more features can use TIC Software for Work Zone planning, processing permit requests, issuing permits, Smart Work Zone operations and post-project analytics.  To schedule a demonstration during ITS America at GEWI booth #216 contact jim.oneill@gewi.com or contact a GEWI representative in your region.
