In her new role, Murtha will develop and manage TÜV Rheinland’s North American consulting, assessment, analysis, verification, validation, testing and certification of ITS components and systems.

A fifteen-year veteran of ITS, Murtha comes to TÜV Rheinland from 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom of Washington D.C., where she served as principal associate for government relations and business development.

“Heavy traffic and gridlock are commonplace the world-over,” said Murtha. “Intelligent toll systems, telematics and other technologies can minimise congestion and keep traffic flowing, offering significant economic and ecological rewards in return. It is our intention to help automotive manufacturers, government agencies, equipment producers, system integrators and others involved with intelligent transportation systems deliver these benefits.”
