Deploying a new 511 service may now be just as easy as opening a box, because 8121 Information Logistics is introducing 511 In-A-Box to the ITS industry. This completely virtual cloud based system – even for telephony – is based on the company’s GeoTalker location oriented platform. 511 In-A-Box dynamically adds resources to meet demand; achieves high reliability through hosting in multiple/geographically diverse locations; and can be customized and rapidly deployed.

Offered as Software as a Service (SaaS), 511 In-A-Box alleviates the need for facilities, and delivers significant cost savings over traditional 511 solutions. It provides all the traditional 511 components, including website, IVR and e-mail/text alerts, as well as a location-based hands-free, eyes-free, interoperable mobile app.

“This is the first time all 511 services are being delivered on a single platform,” said Mary Farrell, president of Information Logistics. Information Logistics systems are currently used by both PennDOT and the 774 Pennsylvania Turnpike.

    Paul Godsmark gives his views on what the advent of autonomous vehicles would mean for the wider society. Further to your article ‘Driver not required…’ in the Jan/Feb edition of ITS International which gave some great background to autonomous road vehicle (ARVs), I feel that the bigger picture is needed to aid understanding. There is a ‘technology freight train’ heading our way that is going to transform our roadways but we don’t seem to be aware of it and, therefore, are in no hurry to react.
