Trafficware and Green Driver partner on traffic signal prediction app

Trafficware’s infrastructure-to-vehicle collaboration with technology partners combines two things that most people interact with on a daily basis: their smartphone and traffic. The company has partnered with Green Driver which has developed a smartphone app, EnLighten, to communicate with the central traffic management system to provide drivers with predictions on how long they will be stopped at traffic lights. Trafficware provides the real-time traffic signal data for intersections to Green Driver.

The company has partnered with Green Driver which has developed a smartphone app, EnLighten, to communicate with the central traffic management system to provide drivers with predictions on how long they will be stopped at traffic lights. Trafficware provides the real-time traffic signal data for intersections to Green Driver.

Trafficware was the logical technology partner, as the company currently has the City of Las Vegas as one of its central traffic management system customers. This central software system is flexible and extensible, allowing for integration with third party software products like EnLighten.

    Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) has implemented traffic signal priority systems (TSP) at 32 intersections in the Bulgarian city of Burgas, as part of the Burgas Integrated Urban Transport Project. The Opticom TSP system allows public transportation vehicles to be given priority signals at traffic intersections. The technology is also fitted to 77 public transport buses in the city, which ensures that when any of them approaches one of the 32 equipped intersections, the system sends a request from the
