TrafficLand, US distributor of live traffic video, has reached an agreement with the 375 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for access to video images from the state’s traffic camera network.  The agreement gives TrafficLand access to video images from more than 1,600 TxDOT traffic cameras located across Texas.

TrafficLand will access the video through TxDOT’s C2C data access portal, uploading the images to a fortified data centre, where it is formatted for distribution to a wide range of end users and mass audiences.

Under the agreement, TrafficLand is able to offer the traffic camera video in the services it markets to public safety, media and other commercial clients, as well as provide it to commuters for free on its public website.

“This partnership with TxDOT adds an important missing piece to our national traffic video network and brings significant value to TrafficLand, partners like Garmin and TomTom and the end users that access our network video,” said Lawrence Nelson, CEO of TrafficLand.
