Custom Solutions

ViaCity

Transpo Group is passionate about ensuring that pedestrians and bicyclists can easily connect to destinations, and that non-motorized traffic is considered in transportation plans. We help clients identify disconnected street networks, barriers such as freeways, and areas where sidewalks and bike lanes are lacking, all while considering the often limited funds available for such projects.

ViaCity solutions help clients make smart decisions about connecting homes and businesses with pedestrian and bike paths, transit and streets. ViaCity’s RDI technology enables us to perform powerful connectivity analysis over large areas with parcel-level precision.

ITS Testing Facility

As a service to our clients, Transpo developed an in-house ITS Testing Facility, housing the latest hardware and software, including CCTV cameras, encoders, Ethernet switches, DMS simulators and CCTV control software from various manufacturers. We also have models of several signal controllers and central system software.

Located in our Kirkland office, this facility is essential for helping clients assess various ITS hardware and software combinations, and make informed decisions on project direction.

On our own time, we utilize this facility to become more acquainted with the ITS and traffic solutions that vendors are continuously creating – saving our clients time and money in research, evaluation and pilot installations.

The permanent units can be integrated into existing systems or act as a standalone technology that can be configured to meet specific data collection needs. BlueMAC technology is presented in conjunction with DigiWest.

Freeway Performance Measurement System (PeMS)

The Freeway Performance Measurement System (PeMS) is a progressive real-time transportation monitoring system used by many agencies worldwide. PeMS is a traffic data collection, processing and analysis tool to assist in evaluating and monitoring the performance of transportation systems. PeMS extracts information from real-time and historical data and relays it using custom reports with visualizations.

PeMS is a technology solution developed at the Partnership for Advanced Technology on Highways (PATH) research center at the University of California – Berkeley in conjunction with the California Freeway Performance Measurement Project.
