ITIS Holdings plc (ITIS) is pleased to announce, together with its local partner Quantum Inventions (QI) and cellular operator SingTel, the commercial launch of TrafficLIVE, Asia’s first intelligent and reliable traffic planning guide covering over 2,500 km of roadway.
Using ITIS TrafficScience CFVD technology, QI and SingTel are generating traffic information by processing signaling information from mobile handsets of SingTel’s mobile base and additional traffic information from the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) through the Traffic Information Platform (TRIP) co-developed by LTA and QI. The innovative ITIS TrafficScience technology correlates and evaluates traffic movements of mobile customers and LTA traffic flow and ensures that all details of customers’ locations remain anonymous to protect their privacy.
TrafficLIVE will provide the first nationwide feed of high quality traffic flow data in Singapore and will be used to provide high quality real-time, historic and predictive traffic information to the Automotive, Mobile and Government markets.
Commenting, Stuart Marks, Chief Executive of ITIS said: “TrafficLIVE represents a significant step for ITIS in Asia and demonstrates how our technology is scaleable to any territory. By working with strong local partners, we can enter into new markets quickly and with minimum risk.”
Ms Sarah Chua, Vice President of Consumer Marketing, SingTel said: “We are pleased to be the first in Asia to launch the one-stop intelligent TrafficLIVE service, which goes beyond being a basic road navigation service. Our comprehensive and accurate traffic data is derived from comprehensive feeds including the physical locations of our large mobile network base of 3 million customers. Coupled with traffic science analysis, customers will be assured of receiving real-time and relevant traffic information, whenever they want.”
Mr. Saurav Bhattacharyya, CEO of QI said, “QI is pleased to partner with ITIS for the SingTel’s TrafficLIVE services. Combining traffic information from ITIS TrafficScience technology and QI’s TRIP, we were able to provide the best in breed traffic information in the Singapore for SingTel’s TrafficLIVE services.”
