The Cubic Corporation’s Transportation Systems (CTS) business division is showcasing a range of the latest technologies from its recent acquisitions, Trafficware and Gridsmart, at the ITS America Annual Meeting in Washington DC this week.
CTS acquired Texas-based transportation equipment manufacturer and software developer Trafficware in October 2018, and followed this up with the purchase of Tennesse-based traffic management equipment manufacturer Gridsmart in January this year. CTS has been showing a range of innovative and scalable capabilities from its two new business divisions at the ITS America event, which highlights seamless mobility around the movement of people, data and freight. In addition to product demonstrations, Paul Wainwright, global product manager for CTS participated yesterday (June 5) in a panel discussion on the importance of Internet of Things (IoT) and ITS integration, titled ‘Why the Future of Traffic Management Depends on the IoT-ITS Integration’.
