Information exchange is an important part of the GEWI product development process.  In addition to collecting requirements from existing customers, GEWI regularly schedules meetings with various types of users to listen to challenges they are having in their business area, and share the latest traffic technologies in use around the world.

The next North American Transportation Technology Tour (TTT) will be held in September, and GEWI is currently accepting requests from organizations who would like to participate in this information exchange.

The new Road Information Management feature in TIC  and the VMS2DASH project featured at ITS World Congress are two topics of the upcoming TTT, but topics can include any area of traffic and travel information, advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) or the many emerging technologies in development and being used globally.

If you are interested in participating in the next TTT to be held in North America, contact jim.oneill@gewi.com

The ITS America Webinar Series provides their members an opportunity to learn about developments in the ITS Industry and connect with other members on a wide range of topics. At 2pm Eastern US time on June 11, 2015 the topic will be Off-the-Shelf Road Incident Management (RIM), presented by GEWI, who recently implemented this system for a European Customer.

The session will focus on the advantages of a system which can be customized to each organizations specific response plan, based on the type of incident. Beyond accidents, the RIM system enables organizations to handle traffic infrastructure events as projects, managed by a team or teams, to engage the appropriate resources for response, provide ATIS as required, and keep all stakeholders informed though every step of the process.

TIC for Road Incident Management (RIM) is made possible by the TIC Processing Feature "Project".

Managing road incidents safely and consistently is a problem faced by road and department of transport (DOT) agencies in every state and country.  With TIC, road incident management is integrated into shared projects, each with specified steps and fast access to information needed to clear problems. 
 

GEWI is pleased to announce that 20 year traffic industry veteran Danny Woolard will be joining the company as Director, Business Development.  Danny will be focusing on emerging markets for GEWI.

Prior to joining GEWI, Danny worked for INRIX following five years working for Australian Traffic and Telematics service provider Intelematics.  Previous to his time in Australia he was Technical Director of ITIS Holdings, following the acquisition of Communications & Measurement Technologies Ltd, a company he founded and ran for over for 11 years.

We welcome Danny who brings to GEWI a wealth of experience in the ITS and traffic sectors from a business, technical and operational basis. 

GEWI's new Road Incident Management (RIM) feature of the TIC software was featured at both ITS America in Pittsburgh and ITS Canada in Gatineau, Quebec Canada over the past week. 

Visitors to the GEWI exhibit booth were able to see a demonstration of the new RIM features which enable to handle any type of roadway or infrastructure incident as a project, customized to each agencies specific response protocol.
 

  The new RIM leaflet was distributed to conference attendees and GEWI's Worldwide CEO Hagen Geppert provided demonstrations of the new features which bring ATIS features to Road Incident Response. 

GEWI has recently signed an agreement with the German Federal State of Brandenburg to use TIC to create and distribute Road Works information.  The Road Works for the State of Brandenburg which will be then delivered to the State Police who are the official source for traffic information.

The Road Works information will be fused with the traffic and travel information in the German State Police TIC system and then distributed to the public.  The German Police have been using TIC for Traffic for more than 10 years and this agreement with Brandenburg will create efficiencies in their system and reduce delays in providing work zone information.

The system is expected to go live in Summer, 2015.  

The new features of TIC for Road Incident Management (RIM) are described in the new leaflet which was distributed at recent ITS Conferences and is now available for download online.

The leaflet describes the capabilities for integrated road incident management and how agencies can pre-define action plans based on the specific incident type.

Standard process steps include monitor, detect, verify, inform, respond and clear - but TIC also allows customers to custom define each of the process steps as well.

The leaflet also describes how TIC provides the ability to consistently manage responses individually or with joint operations teams and processes. 

Whether the road incident which needs to be managed is an accident, or problem with the roadway, camera, VMS sign or any other infrastructure, TIC can be configured to manage step-by-step tailored to meet each agency requirements.
