The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Audi, Applied Information and Haas Alert have conducted the first test of cellular vehicle-to-everything technology to request a green light for passenger vehicles on public roads in Texas.

Applied Information, Inc. (AI), the leading provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure technology, announced today it has expanded its partnership with Traffic Control Corporation (TCC) to distribute traffic signal preemption and priority products in the Midwestern US.

Applied Information’s Intelligent Left Turn Solution alerts motorists when it is unsafe to make a left turn. Using radar detection, cloud computing and an advanced algorithm, it monitors the speed and trajectory of oncoming traffic, triggering warnings when it is potentially unsafe to turn.

Left turns are necessary, but they are also one of the most dangerous routine things that drivers do. The latest innovation from a local smart traffic technology firm is looking to make these maneuvers safer and more sensible. They have deployed intelligent left-turn technology in Peachtree Corners, and the results, so far, have been sizable.

Advanced Traffic Products (ATP) is to distribute Applied Information’s traffic signal preemption solutions in the north-west of the US. It will sell in the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Northern California.

To train their end-users in both hardware and software, Applied Information have built a training platform on uQualio – and uQualio is the help function in their systems. Their self-service video academy today contains more than 76 comprehensive courses, featuring over 350 educational videos that have reached a whopping 17,000 views. Moreover, the company has awarded 3,000 certificates to their learners for IMSA (International Municipal Signal Association) continued education credits.
