69 International Road Dynamics (IRD) has been awarded a contract, valued at over US$1.4 million, by the 508 Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) to provide Enhanced Vehicle Classification (EVC) data collection. The contract supports HDOT’s continuous traffic monitoring programme and includes the delivery, installation, and maintenance of 35 permanent EVC sites on five of the eight major Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, Lanai and Oahu).

Under the contract IRD will provide a web-based real time traffic information ASP (Application Service Provider) service to HDOT whereby IRD will collect and host the data and provide the HDOT proprietary and secure access to the information over the Internet.  IRD’s standard FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) and custom report generation capabilities are provided as a key component of the Company’s ASP model.

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    Astronomical is not too grand a term to describe the current rate of growth in transportation-related data. Massive amounts of traffic related information, such as speed, volume, incidents and weather are being generated every second by road operators and users alike. Big data’ derives its name from the sheer amount and complexity of available raw data. Its potential value is starting to emerge among the intelligent transportation systems community. A gold rush is taking place to capture this value, with da
