🚀 Breaking Ground on Interstate-4: A Story of Innovation in Smart Transportation 🚀 This week, we completed the installation of two advanced data collection sites on Interstate-10, a milestone that showcases the future of transportation technology for the Alabama Department of Transportation. The data will be primarily used to support the planning and design of the toll system for the $3B+ Mobile River Bridge and Bayway project.  The process was a testament to how far we’ve come in creating solutions that are not only efficient but also non-invasive, minimizing disruption to infrastructure and traffic. Our journey began with a challenge: deliver a system that uses minimal space, leverages existing infrastructure, provides accurate and timely information, and can be installed quickly without disrupting traffic. In just one night per lane—including calibration and testing—we brought this vision to life. But the real magic lies in what happens after installation. The system we’ve built doesn’t just work; it learns. Powered by AI and machine learning, it continuously improves over time, optimizing performance and accuracy with every interaction. By seamlessly integrating video, data, and metadata, our platform provides real-time insights and actionable intelligence—all within a single, user-friendly interface. What truly stands out about this project is the collaboration. Everyone involved, from our team to the agencies we partnered with, worked tirelessly to make this a success. It’s this shared dedication to innovation, adaptability, and non-invasive technology that drives us forward and inspires us to push the boundaries of what’s possible. I-10 is just the beginning. Together, we’re building smarter, more efficient, and less disruptive transportation systems, one project at a time. #Innovation #SmartTransportation #ALDOT #NonInvasiveSolutions #InfrastructureTech #FutureReadySolutions

The city’s traffic signal vendor, Control Technologies, will work with LYT, a connected traffic technology provider, to use machine learning to track and predict bus locations, enabling Boston’s traffic management center to provide a green light as a bus approaches each intersection.

Public transportation is critical to cities, states and regions. Technology can enable government agencies to enhance services and improve safety. Here are 3 ways technology can improve public transportation. #Verizon #PublicSector #Transportation #DOT

Did you miss our 'Resilient Road Networks' webinar last week? We joined Douglas Gilmour from TomTom and Ed Dursley and Michael Hastings from the Highways and Customer teams at Worcestershire County Council for a discussion on the importance of real-time and historical traffic data for holistic, data-enabled network management. Some key takeaways: 1️⃣ Proactive Network Management: Leveraging real-time traffic data allows for immediate responses to congestion and other traffic issues. 2️⃣ Historical Data Utilisation: Using past traffic data helps in planning and decision-making for future road maintenance and improvements. 3️⃣ Public Empowerment: Providing transparent access to traffic and roadworks information reduces public queries and promotes self-service. 4️⃣ Environmental Benefits: Efficient traffic management contributes to reduced carbon emissions. 5️⃣ Collaborative Approach: Having a single platform for all road and traffic data allows for a more holistic, collaborative network management approach with a shared view across all internal teams.

𝗦𝗥𝗟 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 🧠 Harnessing the Potential of Technological Evolution Our Business Development Director, Ben Parsons, recently provided insight to Safer Highways as he explores how technological advances are expanding our products' potential to facilitate safer and more efficient highways for everyone. As an industry, we believe a far more rigorous approach to quality standards is needed to ensure that the traffic management products that characterise our highways are of the highest possible quality.

THE STATE OF UK PUBLIC TRANSPORT | Our survey with CitySwift looked at how technology is already shaping public transport networks – and what appetite there is for new technologies to enhance the quality of decision-making https://lnkd.in/dZk6mUdT

The #Hamburg-#Berlin #railway line is set to become Germany’s #innovative route for mobile communications with gigabit data rates on #trains. Thanks to seamless 5G coverage, rail passengers will be able to make calls and surf the internet in top quality on one of Germany’s most important city connections. Deutsche Bahn (DB), the mobile phone companies 1&1, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica and Vodafone as well as the federal government will sign a declaration of intent for the open-#technology testing, development and application of a corresponding ‘5G on the track’ supply concept this afternoon at the German government’s digital summit in Frankfurt/Main. As part of the general #refurbishment of the Hamburg-Berlin line between August 2025 and April 2026, DB is using the closure period to set up radio masts for the future rail radio FRMCS (Future Rail Mobile Communication System). FRMCS is based on the latest and most powerful mobile radio technology currently available, 5G. The mobile network operators will examine the extent to which they can offer #rail travellers gigabit bandwidths for mobile and data connections in the future by sharing the new radio masts close to the #tracks. Due to the #technical and #economic challenges involved in supplying rail travellers, this can only be achieved through a joint effort by all those involved. The partners involved have agreed on the ambitious goal of joint gigabit coverage on trains in the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, which is being signed today. Dr. Daniela Gerd tom Markotten, Board Member for Digitalisation and Technology, Deutsche Bahn AG, said: “Rail passengers expect excellent data and mobile connections. Germany's mobile phone companies and DB are therefore joining forces to provide passengers with gigabit data rates. This makes rail travel between the two largest cities in our country even more attractive and contributes to our ‘S3’ refurbishment programme. Our collaboration shows how strong partners are jointly driving forward mobile broadband provision along the railway in our country.” The 278-kilometre rail link between Hamburg and Berlin is one of the busiest routes in Germany. Up to 230 trains and up to 30,000 passengers travel along it every day. During the upcoming general refurbishment of the line, DB is bundling work on tracks, points and #overheadlines, creating more flexibility in operations through additional overtaking options, upgrading several stations and renewing the control and safety technology. No major #construction work will then be required for several years. DB is also using the planned line closure of several months to set up the infrastructure for the future rail radio FRMCS. FRMCS will replace the current GSM-R railway radio system throughout Europe by 2035.

As groundbreaking vehicle and infrastructure technologies are deployed, and massive new data sources emerge, experts believe our traffic management systems will be revolutionised. https://lnkd.in/gyhcA3AF
