JACKSONVILLE, FL (July 10, 2009) — Idea Integration, the IT consulting and solutions unit of MPS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MPS), announced it has partnered with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to launch the Traveler’s Information Web site. This new site provides, for the first time ever, real time information on traffic conditions for major arterial streets in Seattle as well as nearby highways.
Located at www.seattle.gov/travelers, the one-stop trip planner features color-coded roadways indicating traffic volumes as well as easily accessed images from city and state roadside cameras. It also displays information about traffic impacts from ongoing incidents or planned events, ensuring the public has all the necessary information to select the optimal route.
“We are committed to assisting our public sector customers as they take advantage of the latest technologies to provide their constituents the most innovative products,” said Idea Integration President Steve Ziff. “We are continuing our partnership with the City of Seattle to ensure that same innovation for future projects.”
“The success of this project was largely due to the collaborative effort between our local team and the Idea Integration consulting group,” said Project Manager Ellie Miller from Miller Management Services in Seattle, who managed the project for the City of Seattle. “Idea played a vital role with their expertise in development of mapping solutions on the Microsoft Virtual Earth (now Bing) platform.”
The Traveler’s Information Web site additionally features:
•An interactive Virtual Earth map that allows users to zoom in for additional details;
•Roadside camera images that can be viewed merely by hovering over a camera icon;
•Constantly updated incident and planned event information, mapped for easy reference and with quick access to additional details; and
