3972 TomTom has announced a partnership with 2698 Delcan Corporation in which historical traffic data will be used for the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2), which is managed by the 2774 Transportation Research Board of the National Academies. By using anonymous GPS-based measurements from the TomTom historical traffic database, Delcan and its partners will develop models for travel time reliability analysis and research as part of the programme. The TomTom traffic database allows Delcan to use actual traffic measurements without the cost, time and complexity of traditional survey methods.

In a separate announcement, TomTom says it will be providing its HD Traffic service to the UK’s Automobile Association for the 3440 AA’s traffic news website showing a live view of road conditions and areas of congestion across the UK. HD Traffic creates a picture of traffic conditions as they evolve and contains information from multiple data sources, including connected navigation devices, mobile phones, road sensors and real time incident data. Updates are provided every minute ensuring the AA’s customers are fully aware of the current road conditions before they start their travel.

A decade later, Quantm is helping to put Trimble among the big players in the BIM (building information modelling) en
