TRL is bullish about the future

ADV_TRL UTC imageIn his role as chief technologist at TRL Software, Christopher Kettell finds himself at the nexus point of what TRL Software has done, what the company is doing and what is to come in future. As he concedes, that’s a pretty exciting place to be.

“What we have done, TRL, specifically TRL Software, is well known for the love of acronyms across the TRANSYT, ARCADY, PICADY and SCOOT as part of the portfolio of products, Safety as a core organisational value with iMAAP.

“What we are doing, it is no great secret that we are building our own UTC system based on SCOOT, right now,” Kettell continues. “Likewise, we go from strength to strength with our road safety offering and have a measurable impact on casualty reduction – this is a powerful motivator for doing more. Even with all of this, there is much more to be done, to do this, we recognise the inherent intellectual capital of the organisation, our people and we push collaboration like never before.”

Kettell is bullish about the future but, at this stage, is keeping tight lipped.

“Rather than telling people what we are doing is going to be a game-changer, and that we are going to disrupt the market, we are just going to get on with it instead. Watch this space for some upcoming announcements on what we have been doing at TRL Software, who we have been doing it with and what comes next. At the previous Intertraffic I made an open invitation to get in touch and talk; to my relish some did. Innovation needs collaboration, and I again invite people to talk with us,” Kettell concluded.
