1964 TrafficLand, US distributor of live traffic video is to install its TLX™ video aggregation technology in 7213 Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s (MassDOT) highway operations centre to distribute real-time video from its road-side camera network to multiple stakeholders in the region.

Under the agreement, TrafficLand will serve live video from 375 MassDOT traffic cameras to the DOT website.  The number of cameras will expand to 500 by the end of 2014. TrafficLand will also provide specialised access to the video for first responders, other agency partners and provide an XML feed for third party developers.

TrafficLand’s technology and fortified network will also make it easier to share the video regionally with border state DOTs.

“We look forward to collaborating with MassDOT to provide wider access to real-time video from the State’s road-side camera network,” said Lawrence Nelson, CEO of TrafficLand.   “Greater access to real-time video from these cameras will be a valuable resource for commuters and others under normal conditions, and from our experience working with other states; we know it will be invaluable during severe weather events.”
