LiveDrive! - AutoMapa declares war on traffic jams!2010-05-19 Intelligent LiveDrive! and SmartRoutes technologies created for determining the fastest routes, new route calculation algorithms supported with over a year long operation of AutoMapa Traffic system, new AutoMapa Traffic servers speeding up the traffic jam situation recalculation by over 40%. AutoMapa delivers the newest version of the best Polish anti-traffic jam system to Polish drivers! AutoMapa is the first GPS navigation system which delivers an on-line tool for Polish drivers to help them fight and avoid traffic jams efficiently. Since its launch in the beginning of 2009, AutoMapa users, as the only group in Poland, know where the traffic jams occur, and AutoMapa Traffic leads them to the destination along the best route. Over a year long experience of AutoMapa Traffic operation has made it possible to precisely analyse the drivers' habits and the specification of traffic in Polish cities, thus helping to find the right cure to Polish drivers' headache - how to fight traffic jams. The newest AutoMapa Traffic system version is based on two intelligent route calculation technologies, which significantly shorten the travel time. Users of smartphones and PNDs with the Internet access are supported with LiveDrive! technology, with which they can receive and send current information about traffic jams and road obstacles. When AutoMapa realizes that there occurs a jam on the route, intelligent LiveDrive! solutions will analyse the situation and recalculate whether it is useful to determine alternative routes or stay with the previous route because the jam is going to disappear soon. AutoMapa remembers there are PNDs without the Internet access. The unique SmartRoutes technology uses the experiences of other road users, who travel over 4 million kilometres every day along Polish roads. It creates the picture of road situation in the cities and in the country. With such a solution, all users can have online access to information about current situation on the roads. The technology also forecasts the situation development depending on the time of the day and the day of the week. What is more, no additional device is necessary to use the SmartRoutes technology. All the necessary functions for using statistical data are an integral AutoMapa part! Janusz M. Kamiński, AutoMapa PR and Marketing director, stresses that smart solutions applied in AutoMapa Traffic show their best in rush hours, when the situation changes rapidly, and it is often a matter of minutes if we will have to stand in the jam or avoid it. With direct access to road data, AutoMapa precisely knows how jams form and how to efficiently avoid them. One of important differences as compared with TMC is that AutoMapa Traffic determines routes, taking into account full road situation within the whole country, and not only data about main obstacles on selected main roads, as in TMC. The new version of AutoMapa Traffic system with the unique LiveDrive! and SmartRoutes technologies will be made available to users in the newest AutoMapa 6.5. The current information about traffic jams in the cities and throughout Poland can be tracked on the Targeo location service and OmijamyKorki.pl |
