In the US, the Vehicle to Infrastructure initiative is called IntelliDrive. In Europe, a similar project is underway called DIAMANT. This project involves dynamic information and applications for retaining mobility by using adaptive networks and telematics infrastrucure. TIC is used in this project to collect traffic events, link speed, variable message signs and roadwork from the road network. From the vehicle, TIC collects GPS position plus heading, speed and status of brakes, lights, and other systems.

This September, GEWI will hold its annual business and product workshop. GEWI product development, customer projects, sales & marketing and business management teams will meet to discuss customer requirements, new markets, new technologies, and processes to improve GEWI products. The workshop also serves as a forum to improve overall GEWI business systems and processes.

Traffic enforcement data is the most recent data type that has been fully incorporated into TIC3. Traffic enforcement includes many elements including, type of enforcement, location, type of installation, maximum legal speed, reported by, and more. And, as with all TIC data types, it is a very simple process to add additional data elements to the Traffic Enforcement information type to provide maximum benefits to both the client and end user.

GEWI is pleased to announce that SKODA Auto, part of the global Volkswagen (VW) group, is the latest auto manufacturer to use TIC NavTest for navigation testing. TIC NavTest is a software package used to construct data broadcasts in a test environment, typically when testing receivers and navigation systems.
