Celebrating BlueARGUS: A Decade of Innovation
Over a decade ago, BlueARGUS® emerged as a trailblazer in travel-time analytics from our BlueTOAD® roadside units (RSUs), providing real-time and historical traffic data that revolutionized how we approached traffic flow. Its innovative nature not only set new standards in the industry but also paved the way for future advancements.
But as transportation technology has evolved, so must our solutions to our customers, which is why we will be bidding farewell to BlueARGUS on April 1, 2024.
The decision to sunset BlueARGUS was fueled by a commitment to stay ahead and provide customers with a more powerful, scalable platform with new features while providing a modern and improved user experience.
Introducing VantageARGUS CV
As one chapter closes, another opens with the introduction of VantageARGUS CV™. This new platform isn’t just a replacement; it’s a significant leap forward for agencies eager to harness the full potential of connected vehicle (CV) applications and travel-time data.
