TORONTO and OTTAWA, Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Internet of Things Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ITT; OTC: INOTF; FRANKFURT: 7IT) (“IoT Inc.” or the “Company”) invests in data-driven industrial IoT companies that deliver significant benefit to the verticals they serve. The Company is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Weather Telematics Inc. (“WTX”), has introduced Predictiv RC, the industry-leading advanced micro-scale road conditions platform for safer mobility. Predictiv RC provides unsurpassed accuracy in assessing and managing risks associated with driving in poor road weather conditions. This is a critical solution necessary for the burgeoning autonomous and electric vehicle markets.
Predictiv RC is WTX’s updated global platform that delivers “micro-scale” mapping resolution, ranging from 500 meters to below 200 meters. This unique feature enables Weather Telematics to improve the safety of current connected and electric vehicles while providing the essential data needed to operate autonomous vehicles in all weather conditions.
The platform’s APIs provide historical, current and predictive road weather conditions (dry, wet, snowy, icy) and road weather hazards, including hydroplaning, wind, visibility, hail and lightning. Predictiv RC enables vehicles to navigate safely in dangerous road conditions, predicting conditions 6-hours in advance on any route, with more than 90% accuracy.
For autonomous vehicle OEMs and automotive Tier 1 suppliers, WTX’s Predictiv RC platform assists vehicles’ management of adverse road conditions for safer driving, while predicting road weather conditions ahead of the vehicle to ensure safer route selection.
For electric vehicle manufacturers, Predictiv RC provides essential data needed to accurately assess the battery life, especially in extreme cold and hot weather conditions.
“Our team has exceeded all expectations and we are very excited about the launch of the new micro-scale Predictiv Road Conditions platform,” said Bob Moran, CEO of Weather Telematics. “Predictiv RC provides a new level of predictive road weather conditions capability and position WTX for its next stage of market penetration and growth.”
