Projects

In 2006, Itis reports the trial of its latest innovation, CFVD, with 'a leading mobile operator'. It is stated that 'CFVD measures and forecasts real-time traffic flow by sampling the positions of mobile phones'[4]. This unnamed operator is reported as funding:

'a project using our CFVD technology to demonstrate how anonymous signalling data from its network can generate high quality information on road traffic and general mobility within a large metropolitan area in Europe. The results of this study will be presented to both public and private sector organisations and may lead to other deployments in countries where this operator has a strong presence'[5].
