Public Sector

Since Intelligent Transportation Systems solutions began appearing in the early 1990’s, the public sector has increasingly demanded timely, accurate and complete traffic flow information. Public sector organizations need solutions not only to provide citizens with useful information, but also to proactively assess the performance of transportation systems and measure the impact of system improvements.
