Connected Car
The NC Department of Transportation is (NCDOT) is partnering with Intelligent Imaging Systems, a Canadian company that provides connected-vehicle technology, to provide real-time alerts of urgent road conditions to truck drivers, to help them react more quickly to stopped traffic or major slowdowns. The department is contracting with Intelligent Imaging Systems to provide this service to commercial truck drivers traveling through North Carolina. (Intelligent Imaging Systems is the parent company of Drivewyze.) The safety alerts under the pilot, however, can reach commercial drivers even where there is not a digital sign. We’re a company committed to highway safety, and we applaud how NCDOT is the first agency to add these important safety alerts to truckers.”The one-year contract to employ the alerts began May 17.
