TrafficCast International Renews Contract with GeoDecisions to Support Logistics Planning and Homeland Security with Real-Time Traffic Data--- US Military Transportation Engineering Agency Benefits from Data Integration

Madison, WI April 4, 2007 - For the fourth year, TrafficCast International, Inc., the leader in traffic data aggregation and analysis, will supply comprehensive real-time traffic data to GeoDecisions, the geospatial solutions division of Gannet Fleming Inc., to support essential logistics planning operations of the US Military and Homeland Security. 

To effectively manage resource deployment, both for emergency response as well as conventional assignments, the US Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (US-TEA) employs a web-based portal to worldwide logistics and infrastructure information.  This Intelligent Road & Railroad Information Server, called IRRIS, leverages the latest advances in location-based services and geographic information systems to provide the real-time information necessary for enhanced logistics decision-making.

In the continental US, TrafficCast data is the essential component for timely and relevant information about road conditions, construction and local incidents to facilitate deployment of assets and personnel.  Such situational awareness not only assists typical freight and convoy movements, but also enables more efficient operations in times of crisis.  For example, in its response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, the US Army used IRRIS extensively, including TrafficCast data to track the widespread road closures and necessary detours.
 “We are pleased to renew our contract with TrafficCast to supply traffic data to the IRRIS portal,” said Jonathan Pollack, Vice President of GeoDecisions, “Data from TrafficCast has proven its value under challenging conditions, and we look forward to continuing to expand its application.”

“Our work with GeoDecisions and the US-TEA is highly gratifying,” said Connie Li, CEO of TrafficCast.  “Their requirements are technically challenging but the objectives of effective resource deployment are essential for efficient military operations.  We are proud to be on the team.”
