Dubai Municipality Roads Department Selects IMEL and GCWare to Implement Intergraph's IntelliWhere Technology in Traffic Navigation System

Dubai's Dynamic Integrated Navigation System provides real-time traffic updates and trip planning information for commuters and travelers

HUNTSVILLE, AL, April 17, 2003 - Dubai Municipality's Roads Department has chosen Intergraph distributor Intergraph Middle East LLC (IMEL), and Intergraph Team GeoMedia Registered Solutions Provider GCWare, spol. s.r.o., to supply and implement location-based GIS technology for the creation of a Dynamic Integrated Navigation System (DINS) to provide real-time route and traffic information to commuters and travelers. The DINS project is a logical and functional extension of Dubai's existing Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that uses sensors to monitor traffic on major arterial roads. Furnishing the public with this information will reduce traffic congestion on roads in the city and will provide a time-saving service for commuters and travelers. In addition, the DINS will enable subscribers to:

-- Receive real-time traffic updates via Short Message Service (SMS)

-- Check the current status of traffic intensity via the Internet using a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) or desktop computer and obtain alternate route suggestions

-- Use an in-car navigation CD for turn-by-turn directions together with real-time traffic updates via the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) and Radio Data System (RDS) transmissions

-- Perform trip planning on a mobile phone or PDA

The solution is based on the IntelliWhere(TM) LocationServer Professional server-side technology. The IntelliWhere LocationServer Professional technology is used to location enable applications from Intergraph Mapping and Geospatial Solutions' IntelliWhere division. GCWare, spol. s.r.o. will implement the project in three phases with the assistance of consultants from IntelliWhere and data specialists from CEDA (Central European Data Agency, a.s.).
