As part of a significant upgrade to the Scottish motorway network, 505 Transport Scotland implemented a ten-week diversion on all M8/A8 approaches to the Baillieston interchange while they connected the newly built M8 motorway section with the existing network.
 
Throughout the period of this necessary diversion, Transport Scotland, working with 6110 Amey as their operations and infrastructures services contract provider, deployed live journey time monitoring and information displays to help drivers make informed choices on their journey routes.
 
Clearview Intelligence, as journey time intelligence supply partner to Amey, proposed expanding on the existing Bluetooth-based journey time monitoring network by adding six new M830 devices around the diversion routes. The combination of new and existing M830 devices feeding into the existing Clearview Insight Cloud software enabled Transport Scotland to see the live journey times and display these at their traffic control room located at the Forth Road Bridge. Control room operators were  then able to feed journey time information to the mobile roadside variable message sign units.
