Transport Scotland manages our national Traffic Scotland Service through various supplier contracts, two of which are the Transport Scotland Systems Contract (TSSC) delivered by Cubic, and the Traffic Scotland Operations Contract (TSOC) delivered by Mobiie.

Both of these contractors have agreements directly in place with INRIX to support service delivery – see details in the table below.
