Organizations can now create accurate traffic and travel event information while on the move or directly at the roadside using GEWI’s mobile TIC Smart Client for iPad app which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store at this link:
Robustly designed for both commercial and government organizations, the TIC Smart Client for iPad app allows users to quickly enter, view, and share traffic and travel events.
The app uses the iPad’s built-in GPS location feature to precisely locate a traffic and travel event on a road network. Users then specify the event and optionally add a photo from the iPad’s camera.
The mobile app version is based on the popular TIC Smart Client for Windows used by traffic information operators on desktop computers worldwide.
GEWI’s pioneering TIC solutions are proven by worldwide use in the traffic information industry, the resulting data are used in top-brand navigation devices.
Data can be shared and delivered to traffic information service operators who can monitor, check, enhance, and correct information entered by iPad users before releasing.
TIC easily connects to third-party systems so the same information can be distributed to different devices to reach many people such as emergency responders and the public. Simple and familiar iPad multi-touch hand gestures are used to create, view, update, sort, and filter traffic and travel event information.
In order to use the TIC Smart Client for iPad, the app uses the iPad’s internet to connect to GEWI’s TIC Server, provided as a free demonstration service by GEWI. When starting the app, users are invited to apply for an account and if accepted, users can use the app with the demonstration service for limited period of time.
Founded in 1992, GEWI is based in Germany with offices in the U.K., Singapore, and the United States.
