TTS to showcase Personal Signal Assistant IaaS

First published in ITS World Congress Preview - October 11, 2019

Traffic Technology Services (TTS), a global information service provider for connected-vehicle (CV) applications, will showcase its Personal Signal Assistant Information-as-a-Service (IaaS) product at the ITS World Congress Singapore. The company will also highlight how it advances CV applications across the globe with its leading customer, Audi.

Personal Signal Assistant has been deployed since 2016 with the introduction of Audi connect Traffic Light Information service in Las Vegas. In July 2019, Audi introduced the ‘Traffic Light Information’ feature to Europe with service in Ingolstadt, Germany.

TTS prepares raw traffic light data from government agencies via central systems; predicts operations in real-time; and transmits information to Audi servers. From there, the information reaches the vehicle via a fast cellular Internet connection.

TTS information enables Audi vehicles to notify their drivers of waiting times at red lights or the ideal travel speed for reaching the next traffic light on green. Specifically, the CV applications include time-to-green (TTG), and green light optimised speed advisory (GLOSA). Additional CV applications powered by the TTS service will be released over the next couple years, laying the groundwork for future piloted and automated operations.

TTS supports the Audi connect Traffic Light Information feature throughout Canada, Europe (starting in Germany), and the USA.
