[June 05, 2007] AirSage Intros TrafficWiSE to Aid Industry and Government with Real-Time Traffic Information Tweet (Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) AirSage, a provider of real-time traffic solutions, has announced the release of TrafficWiSE, a suite of solutions designed to meet the specific traffic information needs for a variety of public and private sector organizations. All solutions utilize the AirSage Wireless Signal Extraction, or WiSE, technology. The WiSE technology is a software-based solution for traffic information. Unlike historical or predictive approaches, the company noted, which rely on small sample sizes and data from earlier travel time periods, this software extracts and aggregates anonymous wireless network data to provide true real-time traffic information. "TrafficWiSE solutions draw on the signaling data from more than 51 million cell phones, allowing us to provide specific real-time traffic information to a broad cross-section of customers affected by traffic flow, incidents and congestion," said Cy Smith, founder and CEO of AirSage. "This technology is unique in the industry and allows AirSage to provide more accurate and reliable traffic data than any other solution on the market today." TrafficWiSE solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of a variety of government and industry markets. The TrafficWiSE suite includes: - TrafficWiSE Work Zone - improves safety and reduces work zone impact; - TrafficWiSE Transportation Planning - determines traffic flow between defined areas; - TrafficWiSE Special Events - aids in traffic management for large events; - TrafficWiSE Evacuation and Emergency Management - ensures efficient evacuation of the public and ingress of emergency personnel; - TrafficWiSE Evacuation and Emergency Planning - provides historical traffic data for improved planning; and - TrafficWiSE Alternative Routes - provides travel times for alternative routes, reducing driving time and mitigating congestion. Through its partnership with Sprint, AirSage noted that it is able to access the anonymous signaling data from the mobile network. AirSage then uses the anonymous data and transforms it into real-time traffic data, the company noted in a release.
