Kapsch updated the 511DFW platform for the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The company will maintain the system for two years and make improvements based on new data sources and customer feedback. The solution includes integrated applications such as a bilingual English and Spanish website and 511 phone system, subscription-based XML web services and a performance dashboard which analyses road network conditions.
Other improvements were made to the mobile app, interactive voice response and web services.

According to Kapsch, the project’s scope increased through NCTCOG’s leadership to include more than 19 agencies in 12 counties and over 6,000 miles of regional roads.
