SAN RAMON, Calif., Nov. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Wireless Corporation (Nasdaq: USWC; Frankfurt: USP), a provider of wireless location information, today announced a contract from the Maryland State Highway Administration and the Federal Highway Administration to provide location-enhanced traffic information services in the Washington, D.C. metro area, including Maryland and Virginia.
U.S. Wireless will deploy its award-winning RadioCamera(TM) system in a pilot program to improve traffic conditions for the area's highway system. U.S. Wireless' network will provide the Maryland State Highway Administration with accurate real-time analysis of traffic speed and congestion, which will be used for traffic management and planning.
``After investigating numerous possible solutions for Traffic Management and Intelligent Transportation Systems, we found U.S. Wireless' approach to be the most innovative and economical,' said Dr. David Lovell, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, and an advisor to the Maryland State Highway Administration. ``We are looking forward to the pilot deployment and are designing a comprehensive testing regimen to further assist us in defining this product in an ITS context. We anticipate a wide range of benefits from the fully functional system.'
The application of localized traffic information and data collection to the transportation arena represents a pivotal development for the ITS industry. The RadioCamera(TM) system cost-effectively enables a variety of intelligent transportation services including traffic monitoring, location-sensitive traveler updates and alerts, and statistical and real-time 'best route' information.
Consumers and businesses in and around the southern portion of the Washington, D.C. Beltway are expected to be the first to benefit from improvements in traffic planning and management, including balanced traffic and alleviated congestion on local roads and arteries.
``Real-time traffic and traveler information is expected to drive a new generation of mobility content services not only for the public safety, wireless, and ITS industries, but for the Internet and broadcast marketplace as well,' said Uday Nagendran, Director of Intelligent Transportation Systems for U.S. Wireless.``
U.S. Wireless Corporation's ITS services are part of a larger platform of mobile information services. The RadioCamera(TM) system provides wireless carriers with information to meet the FCC's mandate for Enhanced 911 caller location (``E-911'). Carriers, Internet portals and others will use the company's information to deliver value-added content services including localized directory assistance, roadside and navigational assistance, personal safety, asset tracking and fleet management.
