NOVACommute.com is your link to traveler information services and tools that can help you fight back against the effects of traffic congestion - whether you're a commuter, a fleet operator, a media group, or a public sector agency.

• Commuters: Does it seem like your commute is taking longer than it used to? Do you find yourself leaving home earlier (or staying at work later) to try to "beat the rush?" Now you can get personalized traffic speed reports for Northern Virginia roadways. Alerts can be sent to your e-mailbox, e-mail-enabled wireless device, or via SMS text messaging to your cell phone. Get more details here.
• Fleet Operators: Are your technicians and delivery staff late for appointments because they're stuck in traffic? Are your dispatchers forced to schedule more travel time and fewer appointments each day? If so, your company is probably experiencing increased staff overtime hours, increased staff frustration levels, and decreased revenue. Now, your mobile staff can get better information about current traffic conditions - and they can choose alternative routes before they even pull onto the road. Trichord's JamTrackerPlus™ is your "eye on the web," providing a real-time overview of traffic speeds and customized speed alerts. You can also get access to real-time speed data across Northern Virginia through the Trichord Traffic Viewer™ - a powerful software tool that lets you display point-to-point travel times, enter and track incident data, and set speed alerts that will inform you if traffic speeds fall below a specific threshhold on a segment of roadway that you choose.
• Media Outlets: Do you spend a lot of money and staff resources every year collecting anecdotal and ambiguous traffic incident data? Does your station own (or rent) an airplane to do flyovers of congested areas? Does your staff spend countless hours fielding calls to traffic hotlines and making repeated calls to public sector officials to find out if they're responding to an accident or other emergency that might affect traffic? Does your staff struggle to put together a traffic report when the traffic video cameras can't see through the fog, heavy rain, or snow? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then the Trichord Traffic Viewer™ could be a valuable tool in streamlining your traffic reporting operations.
• Public Sector Agencies: Do you have miles and miles of roadway to monitor, 24x7x365, and fewer resources with which to do it? Do you need to share traffic information quickly and efficiently with other agencies in your geographic area? During an emergency, how can you ensure that traffic is moving efficiently, allowing emergency responders to access the incident scene? The Trichord Traffic Viewer™ can give you "at-a-glance" access to real-time traffic conditions, showing how fast traffic is moving across the Northern Virginia area. Loaded onto a laptop with a wireless modem and cellular phone (or other wireless internet access), the Trichord Traffic Viewer™ can become a "Wireless Traffic Management System on a Desktop" - allowing your incident commander to leave the confines of an Operations Center and coordinate response from the field - with continuous access to "ground truth."
