The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) recently selected location technology company Hereto provide probe-based, real-time Traffic services to improve traffic congestion and corridor management for big construction projects.

The data will enable the NCDOT to communicate up-to-the-minute information about current traffic conditions and travel times via dynamic signs on the roads. The Department will also utilise the Here visualisation tools in its traffic operations centres to help manage the impact of incidents and events. It will also use Here data to conduct before and after studies; and analyse system performance.

Here real-time traffic services combine precision mapping, big data analytics and deep insights to transform incoming data from sensors, devices and connected vehicles on the road, into insights that help to manage traffic and reduce congestion.
