The Location Issue

​In real estate, it’s said that the three most important considerations are: location, location, location. With traffic services, this is true as well. In this edition we’ll review the challenges presented by the many methods of location referencing and how TIC software presents a solution that is used for many traffic related projects around the world.

While we’re on the topic of location referencing, we’ll profile Jürgen Terpe, GEWI’s resident expert in map and network data that is central to precise location referencing and harmonization.

Recently, TISA awarded David Marsh with their highest honor, a TISA fellowship, in consideration for his extensive contributions to the traffic and travel information industry.
