UK software firm 1Spatial is to supply Arizona Department of Transport (AZDOT) with its 1Integrate software to enable it to certify and integrate its own road network information with regular updates from multiple contributing government bodies within the state.

1Spatial’s 1Integrate technology will enable AZDOT to automatically quality assure the information it receives from the combination of fifteen counties and seventeen public-safety answering points (PSAPs) by validating it against a set of pre-defined business rules.

It will also be able to match new data submissions against the current version of the road network to identify changes in geometry and other attributes and apply these changes. This new process will save them a significant amount of time and money over a manual process and also ensure the accuracy of the state-wide data map.

According to Wilfred Oginga, an engineer with the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), the congestion has been exacerbated by poor regulation and enforcement of traffic rules, absence of
