The TRANSMIT System is a unique application of AVI technology for traffic management purposes. Not only does it provide engineers with travel time (and speed) data for the main line sections of their facilities, but it is also used to detect traffic incidents. Through geographical expansion and technology enhancements, the TRANSMIT system will continue to provide engineers and planners with additional capabilities, such as the ability to measure O/D patterns, estimate traffic volumes, provide in-vehicle motorist information, and manage transit fleets, Effective traffic management results from a combination of good motorist communication and the establishment of a high level of confidence on the part of the motorist in the accuracy and reliability of the information being received. TRANSMIT is ideally suited for regions experiencing high levels of traffic congestion, having a significant number of vehicles equipped with AVI transponders, and having a large number of alternate routes as is the case in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut Metropolitan Area.
