A trusted and secure environment for connected vehicle messaging.

The Situation Data Exchange (SDX)^® is a one-stop shop for critical, authenticated traveler information – a centralized data retention and distribution source for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) information such as Traveler Information Messages (TIMs). Originally developed under funding from the United State Department of Transportation (USDOT) for its Connected Vehicle Pilot Program, Trihydro took over system ownership in early 2019. SDX supports CAV messages covering roadways for all 50 states.

With SDX, Departments of Transportation (DOTs) can distribute important traveler and work zone information to drivers, helping increase safety and creating efficiencies in traffic flow and route planning. The SDX is available as a standalone CAV messaging solution or as a complement to existing CAV infrastructure.

Testimonials

Wyoming's Department of Transportation has, in collaboration with Trihydro’s Situation Data Exchange (SDX) Team, proactively visioned and deployed an exemplary engagement model that maximizes coordinated creation, maintenance, and dissemination of road incident updates served between Wyoming's jurisdictional levels, their constituents, and navigation companies. The SDX packages Wyoming's high-quality valid and ground-truthed data in the desired WZDx format and exposes it through a robust API endpoint, all of which reduces Google Maps’ effort to acquire and translate Wyoming’s road incident updates into automated navigation solutions reflecting a holistic view of road network conditions. It’s been a pleasure working with the WYDOT and Trihydro teams to both understand and encourage their motivations and capabilities!
