Mapping and navigation specialist 7643 Here has recently been selected by the Georgia, Alabama and Missouri state departments of transportation (DOT) to provide probe-based traffic services to enhance driver safety and improve traffic flow management and planning strategies.

Here is providing the three DOTs with real time traffic data, enabling them to provide drivers with up to the minute traffic and travel time information on the states’ roads.

The agencies also utilise Here data for traffic operations, situational awareness and performance management, including bottleneck identification, trend spotting, construction planning, before and after traffic studies and more.

Georgia DOT (GDOT), the seventh state along the eastern seaboard to utilise Here traffic services, selected the company via an agreement with the I-95 Corridor Coalition, which supports transportation agencies from Maine to Florida. According to Here, the I-95 Corridor Coalition’s most recent quality tests showed Here has outstanding overall performance for detecting congested road conditions.

Monali Shah, director of Global Intelligent Transportation Solutions at Here, said, “As we move to connected and automated driving, dependable and accurate real time data will only increase in value for government agencies and drivers alike.”
