About TrafficBug®
TrafficBug®, the Commuter’s Companion℠, provides you with personalized traveler information services including: accident and construction alerts, route advice with turn-by-turn directions and trip optimization based on current and expected traffic conditions. Plenty of GPS navigation solutions can get you where you need to go, TrafficBug is the only one that gets you there, when you need to be there. With TrafficBug, you may never be late again!
TrafficBug, your personal navigation assistant, stores your frequently used trips such as home-to-work or work-to-gym, etc. Mygistics' servers continually monitor these trips while keeping an eye on varying traffic conditions. Any changes in expected travel times will trigger an alert notifying you if you need to change your departure time or reroute if there is a faster, alternative route. You can save several different routes per trip between any two locations. Create locations from your Contacts, a typed address or from a pin dropped on a map. Distinctive names and icons for each location or trip making it easy to see current traffic conditions at a glance. Let TrafficBug know when you travel, and it is savvy enough to only alert you within that travel window eliminating unnecessary, bothersome alerts.
Traffic congestion in America's urban areas is bad and getting worse. We cannot build enough roads to significantly reduce the $78 billion annual loss due to traffic delay. Consequently, there is great interest in managing personal travel using forecasted and real-time traffic information to intelligently route, optimize departure or avoid incidents to maximize the use of our current roadway infrastructure. TrafficBug is a first step in fulfilling this goal. Please help us to improve TrafficBug by submitting any suggestions or bug reports through the in-app Technical Support under Settings rather than through comments in the App Store. Thank You.

About Mygistics®
Mygistics is creating the world's largest traffic model based on a unique model-based ITS traffic prediction technology to generate predictive traffic data for traveler information and logistics as well as real-time decision support for traffic management. We simulate all travelers on the network to accurately predict future traffic volumes and travel times. The simulation model processes limited sensor data and fuses it with probe data, providing actionable traffic information anywhere in the network. Travel time data is assigned to each street in the map data set including freeways, rural and urban highways, and urban streets. The resulting Predictive Travel Times are intended for integration into consumer telematics, portable navigation, logistics, and other devices and systems for online and offline use.
Simultaneously, the model provides the basis for real-time decision support (RTDSS) in traffic management with our product portfolio also covering adaptive network signal control and strategy management solutions.
Headquartered in Kansas City, MO and with its main office in Portland, OR, Mygistics is a partially-owned subsidiary of PTV and the exclusive partner and distributor for IT’S seamless products and services in North America.
