New Software Release Scheduled

In mid-May AR Traffic will make available enhanced versions (4.0) of all of its software modules. In addition, new modules will be introduced to support the existing suite of transportation solutions.

Each year, ARTC gathers the recommended upgrades as suggested by our user base. These items along with necessary changes to accommodate the ever changing trends in the industry are carefully reviewed for consideration when determining the new capabilities which will be added to each release. We make every effort to minimize the architectural design of the files so as to accommodate existing interfaces and ensure the transfer of data from the current version to the most recent release.
