Polly Trottenberg, deputy secretary at US Department of Transportation, had a polite but firm message for companies and agencies seeking funding from the government: make sure you are ready before asking for money.

PTV Mobility (known mainly for planning software in Europe) and Econolite (traffic operations in North America) were brought together earlier this year under the brand name Umovity. Abbas Mohaddes (pictured), Umovity chairman of the board – who was then president and CEO of Econolite – recalls the early conversations about the move. “The first question was: what would that mean?” he says. “What if we bring together those two big, successful organisations from two continents and covered the A-Z for the industry – that’s when we really started getting goosebumps. Now we have a product we can promote globally – that resonated with everybody.”

After testing its video-based AI traffic counter in emerging markets, Traffic Logix is ready to tackle the US market—focusing on mid-sized cities and municipalities with dynamic traffic data needs.

Clearview was born out of a desire to innovate while making roads safer and more intelligent. The company invented the first automatic traffic counter in the 1970’s and the world’s first solar road stud in the 1980s. Now, as urban expansion creates even greater challenges related to road safety, mobility, population and the environment, Clearview has responded to client needs by continuously improving and innovating its wide range of products and software solutions.

Even the most talented engineers struggle to integrate real-time 3D Lidar data into their applications. This is especially true when developing scalable and production-ready solutions - and not only demonstrators.

Empowered with the most adaptable, flexible and automated platform anywhere, Activu says that its next-gen traffic management centres (TMCs) resolve incidents faster and reduce team fatigue. All this is done without the need for limiting proprietary hardware.

Technological advances like artificial intelligence (AI) offer new solutions to chronic issues. Instead of putting faith into a hunch, large amounts of data can be analysed to confirm suspicions or provide new perspectives.

A public, private partnership between the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Leidos is laser focused on improving pedestrian safety. The resulting Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory (STOL) in McLean, Vir. is demonstrating its crosswalk perception solution in the exhibit hall at this week’s ITS America Conference & Expo.
