Autoroute-1 System Benefits

• Network-wide, accurate and real-time information:   complete, accurate status of traffic on the entire road   network, all in real-time

• Cost-effective: uses existing infrastructure and   therefore eliminates the need for costly deployment   of road sensors or other infrastructure

• Commercially available and proven since 2003

• Constantly accessible: provides traffic information   24/7/365, at any geographical point, using standard   protocols and formats (e.g. TMC and next generation   location referencing)

• Third-party integration: generates traffic data that   can be provided as a standard traffic feed to any   application provider using standard XML API

• Extremely reliable: The inherent redundant   architecture of the backbone system and the   integration of raw data from a large number of   independent sources, allows both data verification as   well as continuous operation in case of a failure in one   of the sources

• Non-intrusive: causes absolutely no interference with   the networks or any of the sub-systems' performance

• Combination of real-time & historical data: analyzes   and stores historical data over long periods of time,   allowing the detection of irregular traffic behavior as   well as the prediction of traffic behavior for both short   and long term

• Total End-user privacy: maintains full compliance of   regulations. All outgoing network information is purely   statistical, anonymous, and provides no specific   details on individual user locations
