Mygistics is creating the world's largest traffic model based on a unique model-based ITS traffic prediction technology to generate predictive traffic data for traveler information and logistics as well as real-time decision support for traffic management. We simulate all travelers on the network to accurately predict future traffic volumes and travel times. The simulation model processes limited sensor data and fuses it with probe data, providing actionable traffic information anywhere in the network. Travel time data is assigned to each street in the map data set including freeways, rural and urban highways, and urban streets. The resulting Predictive Travel Times are intended for integration into consumer telematics, portable navigation, logistics, and other devices and systems for online and offline use.
Simultaneously, the model provides the basis for real-time decision support (RTDSS) in traffic management with our product portfolio also covering adaptive network signal control and strategy management solutions.
Headquartered in Kansas City, MO and with its main office in Portland, OR, Mygistics is a partially-owned subsidiary of PTV and the exclusive partner and distributor for IT’S seamless products and services in North America.

As an early pioneer in the use of 3D visualization for transportation engineering, Mr. Ostrom created the first photo realistic spatially driven 3D model of a metro area. As a technology director at two of the largest transportation engineering firms in the U.S. he also worked extensively on the development of detailed GIS databases for the USAF facilities around the world, and designed software to aid in the recovery of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. More recently he presented to a congressional committee on the use of traffic simulation for border security. As the current CEO of the environmental award winning company Mygistics® he is working to combine the latest in Web 2.0 technologies with Traffic Engineering and Intelligent Transportation Systems to improve mobility on a national scale.He currently has patents pending covering inventions in ITS, GIS, and Transportation Security.
Thomas Bauer has over 20 years of experience in the fields of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic engineering, transportation planning, transit operations, and traffic analysis software development. Bauer is well respected within the transportation community for his knowledge of traffic simulation and signal control.
Bauer holds a Dipl.-Ing. (Diplom-Ingenieur—German Professional Engineering Degree) in Civil / Transportation Engineering from the University of Stuttgart, and a Masters degree in Transportation Engineering from Oregon State University. Bauer is a registered Professional Engineer in Oregon and California and a licensed Professional Traffic Operations Engineer. He has published a number of transportation engineering and planning papers through ITE and TRB on a variety of topics (simulation analyses, transit preferential treatments, LRT operations and signal priority).
In 2001, Bauer received the ITE Innovative Intermodal Solutions for Urban Transportation Award in Memory of Daniel W. Hoyt for a paper he coauthored titled, Evaluating Arterial Street Transit Preferential Treatments. In addition, Caltrans recognized him with the Pioneer Level 2006 Quality Team Award for his contributions to the I-5 Corridor Improvements Value Analysis for District 7 in Los Angeles.
Prior to joining Mygistics in 2010, Bauer co-founded PTV America (fka Innovative Transportation Concepts) in 1997. As its President he led the firm from inception to a market leading position as provider of traffic analysis software.
