US-based 542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) will be presenting its vision of the future at a business solutions summit for traffic consultants this week in southern California.

Traffic management systems provider GTT will discuss the continued expansion of its managed services business and claims that, with the right infrastructure in place, it is able to monitor intersection and vehicle equipment remotely, conduct routine maintenance and provide useful data to traffic personnel with its robust reporting capability. By ultimately managing thousands of deployments, GTT is able to pass savings along to its customers and estimates that the annual subscription for the service is significantly less than the annual cost savings that can be realised by GTT's solutions.

GTT's customer care helpdesk provides support for any reported problems and escalates issues appropriately; when an on-site service call is needed, the local dealer is deployed to handle things at the local level.

"The days of having to deploy applications on IT infrastructure within the four walls are gone," Said Doug Roberts, CEO of GTT. "It's time to move to the cloud and enable all of the benefit that comes from doing so. These services make a lot of sense for our customers, our dealers and GTT."

    In sharp contrast to many other countries drivers in Sweden support speed cameras and the planned expansion of the automated enforcement network. Sweden is embarking on a massive expansion of its speed camera network and is doing so with both a very high level of public acceptance and without its drivers feeling persecuted; a feat the administrations in many other countries would like to emulate. So how did this envious state of affairs come about? Magnus Ferlander director of business development and ma

    Jo Versavel, Managing Director of Traficon, talks about near-term trends in video camera systems. Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas

    Jon Masters investigates some of the longer term trends that will shape transportation over the next 20 years. Business analysts and investors have already placed their bets on a future of technological smart mobility services. In December last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Uber, the on-demand taxi and lift share smartphone app and start-up business, had been valued at $41.2 billion which, as the Journal reported, is an incredible vote of confidence for a company only five years old.
