Thanks to a new deal between the Texas Department of Transportation and the companies Drivewyze and Inrix, semi-trailer truck drivers in the state can now receive free, in-cab traffic alerts that use real-time traffic data to warn of sudden slowdowns or congestion.
To provide the alerts, the weigh station bypass network operator Drivewyze has integrated its connected truck network with real-time traffic data from the software firm Inrix. The announcement is part of a new Smart Roadways service from the state transportation agency. according to a news release.
