Challenge

TrafficCast identified that TV and radio stations across the U.S. were continuing to lose market share and needed to identify new revenue streams elsewhere. They approached Tapp Network to help develop an application and an API that would allow these media companies to monetize traffic data and traffic reporting in an entirely new way.

Solution

The Tapp team built the back-end API that powers TrafficCarma, which allows for integration with TrafficCast's real-time traffic data source, Dynaflow. It also integrates with a routing engine to provide real-time travel times on consumer routes. Thanks to Tapp, TrafficCarma is able to report directly to end-users on traffic incidents and suggest optimal travel routes between destinations.

App Development

Tapp Network assisted with the development of a mobile application called TrafficCarma. The app enabled TV and Radio stations the leverage to crowdsource commuter traffic reports in a way they never could before.

Integration

API

Tapp also developed the API to power TrafficCarma. The API gave TrafficCast the ability to White label data into their own branded commuter traffic app, providing personalized traffic reports. As a result, this led to TrafficCast growing their own brand and audience all while recognizing new revenue streams and sponsorship opportunities across broadcast, satellite, mobile and social media.

Marketing

Marketing

As soon as TrafficCast established their white-label partnerships ,(i.e. Fox4 TV in, Dallas TX, iHeartRadio (over 300 radio stations in the top 50 markets), WJLA-TV in DC), they continued to collaborate with Tapp to develop a marketing automation platform on HubSpot to continue marketing this platform to potential white-label partners.
