FME Solutions - Traffic Incident Data
Track and package new traffic incidents data to WAZE as JSON files/Client
Capital Metro
Austin, Texas
The client had a method to download and maintain traffic incident data internally. They needed a solution to review this data, and identify new traffic incidents as they were added to the database, and report these new data as JSON data packets to WAZE. Tessellations would develop an FME solution that would monitor the internal traffic incident database on a regular schedule, identify new traffic incidents, check that the incident has not already been reported to WAZE as an active incident, flag those active incidents as closed that were no longer active, and transform this data into JSON format. The FME solution needed to be able to be developed in a way so it would be able to be inserted into an already existing workflow.
