The TCC Project will bring about a major improvement in the traffic management and operation of the UK Highways Agency's national strategic road network. The TCC Project will use existing and new traffic monitoring and information systems to provide a co-ordinated information service to travellers. In March 2001 the Highways Agency awarded the contract to a consortium known as Traffic Information Services (TiS). Halcrow is supporting the consortium led by Serco
