The following is a representative list of TransCore installations:

Georgia - NaviGAtor ITS

TransCore was awarded a contract to serve as the overall systems integrator for the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) NaviGAtor Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).

The NaviGAtor gathers and processes real-time congestion and incident information on more than 200 miles of freeway in metropolitan Atlanta. NaviGAtor's information sources include video devices, a helicopter-mounted camera, highway emergency response operators, and a free, cellular telephone service for use by the public.

NaviGAtor processes the collected data with geographic information systems software. An appropriate response plan is generated and can be reviewed by transportation engineers or can automatically send updated status messages to changeable message signs and transmit real-time data to cable television and the NaviGAtor Web site.

Over the course of the contract, TransCore will expand and enhance the NaviGAtor ITS, providing comprehensive engineering, software development, and systems integration services. TransCore will help GDOT link systems and maximize information sharing between the Traffic Management Center, eight regional traffic control centers, the Georgia 400 toll system, airport and transit parking facilities, and the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.

I-95 Corridor Coalition - Information Exchange Network

The IEN facilitates communication and information sharing among coalition member agencies. The information shared on the network supports several corridor coalition activities, including coordinated incident and construction management, multi-modal traveler information on a regional and corridor-wide basis, and commercial vehicle operations (CVO) initiatives.

The IEN provides the points of entry and access to transportation agency databases, and functions as the communications backbone for exchanging information. It consists of computer workstations and servers connected by a wide area network.
