Information technology provider 768 Intergraph has been awarded a contract by the 407 ETR Concession Company (407 ETR), the concessionaire of Highway 407 ETR in Toronto, Ontario, to design and implement an integrated traffic monitoring system to provide the Highway Operations group with real-time spatial information of incidents on the Ontario highway.

Intergraph’s traffic monitoring system supports field crew response times for planned highway maintenance and manages critical response, deployment and coordination of traffic incidents on highway networks. This solution integrates with critical highway infrastructure, supporting the recording of activities via closed-circuit cameras, interaction with dynamic variable message signs to ease traffic flows and real-time reporting of road weather information systems.

Intergraph’s Traffic Monitoring System will serve as the management system for the toll network. The 407 ETR teams of control room operators, supervisors, operational field staff and first responders will benefit from automated event updates, integrated systems with decision support and enhanced analytical capabilities.
