Case Study: VDOT and TomTom’s Historical Traffic Data
Wednesday, August 8, 2012 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
Join Chad Tucker, short range planning manager with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and Michael Dannehy, pre-sales consultant at TomTom, in a discussion on leveraging historic traffic data to improve highway safety and operations.
Under a state mandate, VDOT embarked on a six-year improvement program to enhance highway safety and operations throughout the I-95/I-64 corridor. Through an independent highway and traffic safety study, VDOT determined issues within the I-95/I-64 corridor that posed potential risks to motor vehicle operators. (

more on the data.)
TomTom (formerly Tele Atlas), a provider of GIS historic traffic data and mapping solutions, partnered with VDOT in April 2012 to support the VDOT highway safety project.
Tucker will share the ways VDOT used TomTom’s historic traffic data to help with its highway infrastructure planning. Dannehy will describe TomTom’s historic traffic capabilities and functionality, as well as the value proposition for state DOTs in using TomTom’s historic traffic data for infrastructure planning.
Who should attend
-
We are specifically addressing the interests of high ranking officials representing DOTs, plus CEOs, presidents and vice presidents of consulting companies working on government highway infrastructure projects.
-
We also warmly welcome traffic planners and traffic engineers, anyone representing local, state and federal governments as staff or consultants working in any transportation or mobility function.
-
GIS professionals involved in traffic/transportation applications will also find the material of interest and would benefit from attending.

Customizing Geodata: Case Studies from Harley-Davidson, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and more
Wednesday, December 12, 2012 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
This webinar will focus on how and why American Digital Cartography, Inc. (ADCi) customizes TomTom data for government organizations and private companies. Join us to learn about three customer case studies: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Harley-Davidson, Inc. and Lender Processing Services, Inc. (LPS).
ADCi has been a leading distributor of TomTom Maps since 1991. During that time, ADCi has helped customers in every market successfully secure the correct data and license for their application. As a value added reseller, ADCi can “slice and dice” the TomTom data any way the customers needs it, so they can begin working with the data in their application immediately.
The webinar will outline the “pain points” each customer addressed by having the TomTom data massaged prior to delivery, and provide an in-depth look at the data customizations ADCi provides for these customers. Customizations discussed include everything from providing the data in different formats and projections to renaming layers, merging datasets, creating tables, and adding primary keys and indexes.
