Motorists in Belgium can now obtain real time traffic and travel updates at selected Total fuel stations, thanks to information supplied by mobility services provider 6593 Be-Mobile displayed on screens designed and implemented by digital communications specialist Dobit.  The up to the minute graphical traffic overview displays traffic jams, road works and accidents.

The screens will switch views from traffic information to in-house deals for shoppers and other relevant information, which Total hopes will increase customer retention while attracting new customers.

Philip Van den Driessche, Dobit account manager said “The combination of Be-Mobile’s accurate and precise traffic information with the digital strengths of Dobit provides the perfect platform to inform the Belgian public as to the current traffic situation.”
Jan Cools, CEO of Be-Mobile said, “Be-Mobile is extremely proud to work with two industry pioneers such as Total and Dobit, this perfect marriage of distribution, data and platform is an innovative way to ensure that Belgian motorists remain as informed as possible.”

1623 Telogis and 5874 Volvo Trucks in North America have entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to develop services that leverage the comprehensive cloud-based Telogis location intelligence platform including telematics, dynamic routing, real-time work order management, commercial navigation and mobile integration services for companies with mobile workforces.
New York state and local leaders are considering a bill that would enable New York City to install up to forty stationary and roving speed cameras at high-risk locations for the next five years.

The calls for a crackdown on speeding come after several high-profile crashes.  One in four traffic deaths in New York City is caused by speeding. In 2011 alone, 70 people were killed and 4,700 people were injured as a result of speed-related crashes in the five boroughs.
