Traffic Server™ 5

Manage your Traffic Data Collection Business

What is Traffic Server 5?

Traffic Server 5 is a comprehensive traffic data management system that integrates monitoring devices, users and traffic software tools. It provides a unified business solution for managing the full life cycle of traffic data: from collection devices at the roadside; through the computation of key statistics; and into your corporate reporting service.
If you are involved in collecting or managing traffic data in government or private industry, Traffic Server is for you.

Applications

Department of Transportation

If you are a DoT ... you typically collect data from a hundred or more permanent stations and tens of thousands of short term surveys points. In your office you may have a set of specially developed, yet disconnected software "utility" programs which you hope to replace.
You may have a thinning pool of in-house team members managing the collection of data and maintenance of traffic equipment, much of which is provided by contractors.
Transmetric Traffic Server provides you with a single, dedicated web-based application that each group involved in the collection and reporting of traffic data can operate, allowing you to focus less on how traffic data is manipulated and more on how information is used.
Transmetric Traffic Server enables you to comply with each chapter of the Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG), while providing a platform for you to generate and support a community of users in pavement engineering, enforcement, road safety, planning and research.

Local government/MPOs

If you are in local government ... you typically contract out data collection on short term surveys and may share this information with your state government agency. It is likely you don't have the resources to maintain a quality control system or a database of all your historical traffic information, and you rely on your survey contractor to provide you with good data.
You don't need something "heavy"; just enough to accumulate what you have collected over the years and ensure that any new data is of a high standard.
Transmetric Traffic Server gives you exactly the tool you need.

Traffic/WIM data collection contractors

If you are a specialist traffic data collection contractor, a toll road operator required to supply traffic data to the state, or a company offering traffic monitoring equipment maintenance services, the most important part of your work is the timely submission of quality data to your client.
Transmetric Traffic Server provides you with a tool the reduces management costs while increasing certainty in the data you are providing.
