5897 IBI Group, a provider of toll and traffic management solutions for government agencies, highway operators and concession companies, and 5898 Cellint Traffic Solutions, a provider of real-time road traffic information based on cellular data, have announced a cooperation agreement that builds on their current regional traffic data system project in Vancouver, Canada, funded by 376 TransLink, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure, and Transport Canada.

Cellint's TrafficSense provides traffic information based on anonymous mobile phone data in vehicles, through a standard interface at the mobile network. It detects all slowdowns in real-time, similar to road sensors, as well as providing the most accurate travel time.

“We have been looking for the right technology partner for a long time,” said Scott Stewart, managing director at IBI Group. “The costs and timelines to implement traditional sensor-based systems are prohibitive, and GPS-based data is sporadic. We realized that this type of solution can actually match road sensors in terms of travel time, speed accuracy and data reliability, but in a much more cost effective and timely manner.”
