Solution for navigation data providers
Navigation apps and systems can show traffic and travel information on a map and as text, alerting drivers and suggesting alternative routes.

Information can include traffic and travel events, traffic flow and speed, weather, and parking.

TIC can be used by public and commercial service providers to create information, delivered using navigation industry standards over the Internet, FM RDS, and digital broadcasts such DAB radio.

Consistently inform and alert travelers
The same data can be immediately distributed to different systems used to inform or alert drivers, helping to avoid conflicting information in websites, news reports, and navigation systems.

Supports navigation standards
TIC supports navigation system information standards used worldwide by automotive manufacturers to help reduce costs and risks.

Alert drivers of danger
TIC can ​be used to immediately alert drivers about an on-coming vehicle driving the wrong way on the road.

TIC can set priorities to alert traffic announcers to immediately interrupt a program, and can sent a high priority flagged alert to all other systems, such as for navigation and mobile devices.

Produce data automatically
Data can be automatically collected from other systems and can also be automatically created, for example traffic events from traffic flow data.

Operate PAD with navigation information services
PAD (Program Associated Data) can optionally be operated alongside traffic information services, such as traffic news, RDS-TMC, and TPEG, inserting road images into DAB broadcasts.

Reach navigation systems
TIC creates accurate and precise data which is fully compatible with popular navigation systems by supporting international standards.

Standards include event and location coding such as TMC and openLR dynamic location referencing, and distribution by RDS-TMC (FM), connected TPEG binary (HTTP), broadcast TPEG binary (DAB), and tpegML exchanged between systems.

TIC uses precise digital map data which can be updated multiple times each year to match real world on the ground changes.

Intuitive and fast data entry
TIC operators are provided with a consistent and intuitive user interface to quickly create, update, check, and improve information, regardless of the data type, helping to shorten the time to learn and to reduce data entry errors.

TIC operators can easily understand data by viewing information in one or more windows types such as lists and charts, and geographically using intuitive maps with selectable layers.

Accurate data entry
TIC operators can be prompted to review the data they entered by TIC checking data accuracy, such as missing information, acceptable values, and data formats.
Reduce data entry
TIC saves operators time and effort by ​reusing data already stored on the system.

For example, names of selected roads and other location details are automatically reused.

Use multiple information sources
Information can created and updated using reports, such as by telephone, email, and apps, from multiple sources including drivers, news reporters, police and fire stations, and government road agencies.

Consistent location references
TIC can collect data that have different location references and can consistently reference the corresponding data to one harmonized location network created from digital maps.

Work productively with proven solution
TIC is a proven solution used by hundreds of operators worldwide for rapid data entry while supporting information accuracy and quality.

TIC can save operator time and workload with predefined templates, auto-complete data entry, and reminding of next steps, tasks, and activities, and reusing data to avoid data re-entry.

Import and reuse existing data
During system implementation, TIC can import existing data, helping to save time by reusing data and avoiding to manually re-create data.

Verify information
TIC can be easily used to verify and confirm information, by operators who are automatically presented with related local information, such as local camera images and other activities, and by system monitoring processes which can automatically detect conflicts in the same location or at the same time.

Easily share and exchange information
Data can be shared and exchanged with other systems, for example using the documented TIC XML format, or converted for use with other standard and custom formats.

Work everywhere
TIC can be conveniently used everywhere, such as operations center computers, at remote locations using an internet browser, and even while mobile on the road.​

Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product
TIC is a COTS product which provides higher reliability at lower total cost and risk over several years when compared to build-your-own solutions or clones (one-time copies of other systems).

A TIC system is implemented simply by configuring the TIC product to meet a customer's requirements.

Solutions for real customer needs
GEWI solutions are based on customer requests received worldwide across a wide variety of organizations.

Each request is analyzed and processed, and could lead to a change in the TIC product, system configuration, services provided, or sales agreements.

Customers systems can include the standard TIC user feedback feature used to create accurate and detailed requests, for example automatic screenshots ready to be analyzed.
