Joint Webinar : Transnomis + Ramudden Digital
The Technology Behind MTO's Advanced Travel Time System

Watch this insightful webinar on the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's Central Region Travel Time System, Canada’s largest Bluetooth Travel Time System. Covering over 600 kilometers of highway, this advanced network utilizes 220 Ramudden Digital Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sensors, strategically placed to capture over 500,000 data samples per minute. Powered by Transnomis technology, the system processes this vast amount of data in real time to calculate travel times and deliver actionable information to drivers.

The system updates 137 variable message signs (VMS) every minute, providing up-to-the-second travel time updates on Ontario’s busiest corridors. These signs enhance driver decision-making by informing commuters of expected delays, alternative routes, and real-time traffic conditions. The system is cloud-hosted, ensuring scalability and failover redundancy for uninterrupted service.

With its innovative integration of digital twinning, the VMS boards are mirrored virtually within the system, enabling operators to simulate, preview, and optimize messages before they are deployed. The system’s robust dashboards also provide MTO operators with live visualizations of congestion hotspots, enabling faster responses to incidents and improving overall traffic flow.

This project exemplifies how cutting-edge Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can enhance road safety, reduce congestion, and set new standards for traffic management in Canada.

Hear from Michael McGuire, President at Ramudden Digital North America, and Yeatland Wong, Director of Smart Mobility at Transnomis, about the implementation process, technology, and benefits for road management and commuters.
