Traction Connect

Real-time, geo-located push notifications to drivers on your roadways.

What Is Traction Connect?

Traction Connect allows agencies to push relevant alerts, warnings, and traveler information to motorists in specific geographic areas.

Traction Connect provides a safe and convenient user experience through:

  • A mobile app linked to the motorist’s vehicle infotainment system. The screen safely displays relevant messages through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
  • Connected vehicle Roadside Equipment (RSE) infrastructure.

Push notifications include:

…and more!

Traction Connect can also replicate messages on physical Dynamic Message Signs.

Benefits

Traction Connect is a safe and efficient way to deliver traveler information messages.

Increases driver awareness at any location, creating safer roadways with fewer surprises.

Provides easy access to performance measures such as basic safety message data, RSE status, and vehicle trajectory data.

Customizes information delivery with open APIs for third-party connectivity.

How It Works

A smart city needs technology that strengthens the connection with motorists. Traction Connect brings a next-generation driving experience into the future.

Traction Connect can be leveraged for data-driven communication through a straightforward process:  

  • Agencies create traveler messages manually or automatically for a desired notification area.
  • Motorists traveling within the area receive a traveler information message via their infotainment system. They can request for the message to be read out loud and will receive traffic signal status information, including eco-driving recommendations.
  • Agencies receive performance measures, including vehicle trajectories.
