Georgia and Alabama Cities Become Test Beds for Early Warning Traffic Safety App

Applied Information Inc., a Georgia technology firm, is partnering with Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia and Tuscaloosa, Alabama to beta-test an IoT project that connects cars, cyclists and pedestrians to improve safety and mobility on busy urban roadways. Through a new app called Glance TravelSafely, which connects traffic signals, school beacon signage and objects to each other, and then communicates this data to a smartphone app, users would get an alert on their smartphone when a car is coming up behind them, the lights will switch from red to green, or if they are speeding or speeding in school or work zones.
