Rethink What You Thought
About Traffic Data Management
It’s not what it used to be. Building on decades of industry experience and lessons learned from TRADAS, we’ve reinvented traffic data management using a simple guiding principle: It doesn’t need to be a headache. Our goal was to create an easier way to get more accurate traffic data. The result was Jackalope; an entirely new approach that turned the old model upside down.
