Orlando-Based FuelClinic.Com Awarded Second Place in Global Competition to Find Solutions to Traffic Congestion, Road Safety
SANFORD - FuelClinic.com, a web-based information clearinghouse that focuses on fuel efficiency, was recently awarded second place in a global competition to identify new technologies to make transportation more efficient.
The competition, hosted by ITS America---the U.S. division of the Intelligent Transportation Society---was sponsored by IBM and venture capital group Spencer Trask to uncover technologies that will help create “smarter cities” and decrease traffic congestion, improve road safety, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen commerce.
Michael Bragg, founder and chief technical officer at Compendium Software Systems, LLC, the parent company of FuelClinic.com, said 116 startup companies from more than 20 countries participated in the ITS Congestion Challenge.
FuelClinic.com’s website placed second in the competition, which included a brief summary of the programs, an executive summary, a global online question-and-answer session and examination by a panel of experts.
The competition was judged by a global community of more than 4,000 people, including transportation industry professionals and the general public, which selected three winners and six finalists from Hungary, Ireland, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States.
iCarpool.com, headquartered in Issaquah, Wash., took first place in the competition and the $50,000 grand prize.
While there were no cash awards for second place, Bragg said the exposure had a silver lining. A Brazilian group---Believe Sustainability---asked FuelClinic.com to help it develop a program to reduce carbon emissions in Sao Paulo, one of the world's most densely populated cities.
FuelClinic.com is a global web community with more than 3,000 registered users in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, the U.K., and Europe. Bragg projects FuelClinic.com will host more than one million users worldwide within five years. Registration at FuelClinic.com is free for non-commercial use. The site offers a wide range of user-provided advice and information about fuel economy, Bragg said.
FuelClinic.com is a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program and headquartered at the UCF Business Incubator on 110 West First Street in downtown Sanford.
