“TfNSW needed a solution to capture real-time data for every vehicle in motion across the state. This solution just gives us that so that we mine nuggets from this data at a later date. We now have an ability to self-service without waiting for someone else to curate data.”

Sandeep Mathur

Program Manager, Transport for NSW, as listed for the 2020 event
