Gewi powers smart work zone warnings

The main cause for work zone crashes is drivers being unaware of the approaching hazard. An off-the-shelf solution is now available and is being demonstrated here, at ITS America Detroit, by 1862 Gewi, 7643 Here Technologies and 7365 iCone.


Gewi’s TIC software receives live iCone work zone ITS device data, which is then published through the Here production system. This concept was first demonstrated by Gewi at ITS World Congress in Orlando in 2011. However, the deployment here in Detroit no longer involves prototypes, but actual production off-the-shelf systems that supply traffic data to any of Here Technologies’ products and customers.

Visitors are invited to take a demonstration drive and learn about the individual components that make this Smart Work Zone to Navigation demonstration possible. Additionally, visitors to the Gewi and Here Technologies booths will be able to view the technology at many stages from the Gewi TIC software to the portable navigation devices (PND). Here Technologies expects to be rolling out construction work zone and lane closure incidents using live iCone ITS work zone data this year, leveraging Gewi TIC software features for incident gathering in Here’s traffic operations.

The result greatly enhances both coverage and accuracy for construction work zones and lane closures in products using Here traffic data. Motorists, road agencies and work crews will benefit from safer, more efficient experiences by more complete, accurate knowledge of exactly when and where work zones and lane closures are in effect.

    Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are evolving at a rapid pace – but drivers’ ability to cope with them is not and at some point the mismatch must be addressed. Probably the biggest challenge the transportation industry has ever faced.” That is how Dr Bryan Reimer of Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab describes the challenges posed by semi-autonomous vehicles.

    Here, a leader in navigation, mapping and location experiences, will come to the 2015 ITS World Congress with a powerful message: precise maps and connected data analytics hold the key to ITS. As the company points out, a city in motion generates a tremendous quantity of data, yet for the most part these data are still untapped and their potential value not fully leveraged. They are likely not shared with a broad network and probably not examined in a wider context with other data.
