“There are so many things to learn! How are we all going to transport outselves in the future? How can we make interactive maps that are more useful? How can we stay in the forefront of providing data that helps direct-connected and autonomous vehicles?”
These are the questions that keep Nick Kiernan, Trafficcast Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development thinking and going in the transportation and mobility field after some 20 years.
Kiernan spent his early career in media, starting at CBS Radio Network in New York. In previous decades, traffic reporting was largely done from helicopters. Kiernan thought there had to be a better way. Cameras were cheaper and less weather-dependent than helicopters, and the internet had to be involved in traffic reporting! Nick Kiernan came Trafficcast in 2005, and helped launch early commercialization. Nick works from Trafficcast’s Middleton offices, still with a hand in shaping the future of traffic data collecting and reporting.
When not connecting with clients and Trafficcast employees (Nick springs for an occasional office pizza party), he enjoys cycling with his wife, Susan, and spending time with his daughter Laura, a Carleton College student, and son Cole, a senior at Madison West High School.
