Trafficware Launches Connected Vehicle Application
in its ATMS Central Traffic Management System
HOUSTON - After successfully delivering Connected Vehicle applications in Silicon Valley's city of Palo Alto, home of Stanford University, and other San Francisco Bay area cities, Trafficware launched its subscription-based Connected Vehicle Module as part of the ATMS.now central management software.
The module allows transportation agencies to selectively publish traffic intersection data to any 3rd party for the growing number of Connected Vehicle applications like “Talking Intersections”, which provide valuable intersection data to the driver, improving safety, reducing emissions, and more.
Data provided by Trafficware’s signal controllers, sensors, and central management software, ATMS.now, are used to predict and time-calibrate the state of the traffic signal, so auto manufacturers can incorporate it into their telematics and in-vehicle information systems.

PROJECT IMPACT:
The City of Palo Alto is the first to provide access via an “open source”. POTENTIAL AS A MODEL: This is “shovel ready”, using an infrastructure that already exists, with a communications network and processing power that’s readily accessible, could make this transformative. STATEMENT OF THE PROJECT’S LEADERSHIP: Unlike “talking” traffic signal applications with 3rd party vendors and using proprietary formats, the City of Palo Alto’s leadership had the foresight and vision to consider a new model and “broadcast” traffic signal data without a middle man and, most especially, using a non‐proprietary format, allowing the market to define the potential. |
Fast FactA growing number of communities are exploring connected vehicle applications as they move to Smart City infrastructures while select auto manufacturers are launching Connected Vehicle systems in 2017 and later model cars.
Industry LeadershipAudi announces Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology roll out in select 2017 model vehicles.
In Las Vegas, where Audi launched its traffic light information system, Trafficware's ATMS.now central traffic management system is the "I" or infrastructure in V2I. Audi's connected vehicle can "talk" to traffic intersections providing valuable driver information. The service showcases Trafficware, along with information provider TTS, for being at the forefront of delivering the latest in connected vehicle applications to the marketplace.
