With hundreds of traffic reporters in over 120 US media markets, TTWN collects real-time traffic data for broadcast, mapping, and automotive partners nationwide. Nearly 200 million consumers per month rely on TTWN’s trusted information to help them commute safely and efficiently.
TTWN’s presentation systems enable reporters to integrate real-time incident reports, travel times, and social media posts into broadcasts. Under the extended partnership, Vizzion’s camera feeds will continue to be available as part of TTWN’s traffic presentation systems providing broadcasters with visual confirmation of traffic information and adding color to on-air traffic reports.
Vizzion camera imagery is now available to TTWN's media partners for broadcast alongside their online and mobile traffic platforms.
“Live imagery acts as a visually appealing add-on to the high-definition maps and graphics available through TTWN’s traffic presentation systems,” said Sean Beaudoin, Account Manager for Vizzion. “It’s important for broadcasters to deliver the most accurate data to their viewers, and the combination of TTWN’s hand-collected, real-time traffic and weather partnered with Vizzion’s 35,000 US-wide cameras makes for engaging and informative reporting.”
