Finland’s Here is to provide its real-time traffic information to GIS mapping software specialist 50 ESRI, enabling the company to enhance its web and cloud location platform with more precise location data for intelligent routing with Here Traffic.

Here’s traffic information will complement its map content, which Esri has been using for a decade, enabling Esri to provide a location-based analytics offering that will help businesses make more informed decisions.

Fleet operators will be able to better manage problems as they occur in real time, re-routing fleets when traffic unexpectedly hits, and providing alerts when delays occur.

"For ten years, Esri and Here have had the shared goal of enhancing safety and increasing the efficiency of fleet operations by offering the most accurate transportation information on more roads than any other provider across the world," said Chris Cappelli, director of sales at Esri. "Launching real-time traffic from Here on Esri's platform for our ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS for Transportation Analytics software products will offer a deeper level of logistic and analytic capabilities for enterprise and government fleet companies."

"Dependable real-time traffic information is crucial to improving fleet operations strategy today and for the long-term," said Roy Kolstad, vice-president of Here’s US mobile, web and enterprise

    Healthy prospects for floating vehicle data systems
    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla

    Maintaining momentum: learning lessons from the London Olympics
    Japan will not only host this year’s ITS World Congress but has been selected for the 2020 Olympics. So what can Japan, and indeed Brazil, learn from the traffic management for London 2012 - Geoff Hadwick finds out. It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and

    Smart technology keeps infrastructure operating safely
    US Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are using smart technology to warn civil engineers when something is wrong with the infrastructure, says the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Association (AASHTO). Sensors installed on bridges, in roadways, and on maintenance vehicles are communicating real-time performance and weather data, allowing engineers to solve problems before they occur. "Most people look at a road or a bridge and never realise the technology that today's modern tra
