A traffic report has an awkward relationship with geography. It can be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless if it describes the wrong stretch of road. In June 2020, a discussion about New Jersey’s voice-assistant traffic service exposed precisely that problem. Google Assistant could supply a device’s location. Alexa’s registration pointed to a home address. For someone asking about the road ahead, that distinction mattered.
- Infosenseglobal builds software for transportation agencies and enterprise customers.
- PACCT analyzes vehicle trips; TRANSVIEW combines traffic information; T-REX manages events.
- Its distinctive work connects data analysis with the everyday business of running roads.
The vendor was Infosenseglobal. The project reached soft launch in under six months, according to consultant Jim Hadden’s account at a transportation coalition webinar. Location personalization remained a separate challenge. The team wanted something easy to use in people’s hands quickly. It is a revealing introduction to a company whose most interesting work happens between receiving information and making it useful.
A traffic report with a location problem
The New Jersey discussion supplies something technology profiles often lack: a specific compromise. The ambition included information tailored to a traveler. The immediate product could deliver voice access without solving every location question first. Different assistants handled location differently, and that complication gave the team pause.
Hadden described a service where website use was high and use of the telephone’s interactive voice response system was falling. Voice assistants offered another way to reach drivers. The decision was therefore about how people already sought information, as well as what the software could do. The useful lesson is modest: find the behavior worth serving, then keep an optional feature from holding up that service.
“A little less than six months”

That makes a better starting point than a catalogue of capabilities. Infosenseglobal’s market is full of situations where a correct answer must survive an awkward interface, an unfamiliar data format, or another agency’s jurisdiction. A road crosses a boundary without noticing. The people responsible for it need systems that can follow.
Three tools, three jobs
Its transportation portfolio separates the work into recognizable tasks. PACCT, the Platform for Analytics of Connected Car Trajectories, follows movement. TRANSVIEW brings different transportation information together. T-REX handles the incident or event that someone must record, communicate, and manage. Together, they address analysis and operations, although each has its own purpose.
PACCT supports questions about where trips begin and end, which routes vehicles take, and how movements through intersections change. Its published materials describe a historical tri-state example processing approximately 1.2 billion GPS points and 3.5 million journeys daily. Those are company-reported input volumes, rather than a measure of minutes saved by motorists. Their significance is the processing burden behind a seemingly simple view of traffic.
TRANSVIEW’s data-fusion engine brings sources such as GPS, probe observations, Bluetooth sensors, and toll-tag information onto a common road network. Its tools let operators examine conditions and planners compare travel times. This is where a collection of feeds becomes something closer to a shared account of a region. An incident, a camera, and an unusually slow trip can appear within the same working environment.
T-REX supplies the operational detail. A user can distinguish a bridge’s upper and lower levels, specify affected lanes, and describe an event using start and end points. Highway construction, transit incidents, and special events belong in its remit. Its website lists users including NJ Transit, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. These are environments where a vague location can become somebody else’s problem remarkably quickly.
A database company meets the road
Infosenseglobal began in 2006 with enterprise technology roots, including Oracle applications. In December 2022, Buchanan Technologies announced a strategic investment and merger involving its Oracle technology and applications service line. The combined applications business brought together more than 250 application and database professionals. That figure describes the combined team at the transaction, rather than Infosenseglobal’s current workforce.
The company also announced ML Sense in May 2022: a no-code machine-learning product with a free community version and more than 40 models. The proposal was to make experimentation accessible to business users, including existing ERP customers. The release followed an AI division announced in February 2021. It shows an additional product direction alongside the integration work.
Transportation supplies the clearest external recognition. The International Road Federation credited TRANSCOM, ConSysTec, and Infosenseglobal in its 2017 awards. ITS-NY’s 2026 Project of the Year credits TRANSCOM, Infosenseglobal, and Kisnn Associates for a cloud-based data-fusion and exchange project. The repeated unit of achievement is a collaboration: agency knowledge, software development, and systems expertise working together.
The question before the dashboard
Overlapping alternatives include Iteris ClearGuide and INRIX Roadway Analytics. Both sell ways to understand road performance. Infosenseglobal’s combination of analytics, agency integrations, and event-management workflows gives a prospective customer a specific proposition to examine. The practical buying question is how much of the journey from raw observation to operational response the organization wants one supplier to support.
Data continuity deserves equal attention. PACCT’s published materials reference Wejo datasets; Wejo Limited entered administration in July 2023. That does not establish a PACCT interruption. It does illustrate why a buyer should examine supply arrangements, geographic coverage, and replacement options before treating historical performance figures as a promise about tomorrow.
A sensible evaluation would start with one corridor and one decision: compare conditions before and after roadworks, for example. Budget for data access, integration, support, and staff time as well as the interface. Agree on a baseline and decide who can act on the result. Where coverage is poor or nobody owns the response, another dashboard will have limited value. Infosenseglobal’s most useful proposition is that the picture and the work can be connected. The buyer’s job is to test that connection.
