MWC 2009: Navteq Updates Enhanced Traffic Patterns To Include UK

Navteq has announced yet another improvement to in-car GPS with the news that its Enhanced Traffic Patterns for Europe technology will now include coverage for the UK. Version 2.0 of the platform includes typical traffic speeds for around 75,000 miles of primary and secondary roads in this country and was created through years of observations from GPS sensor data. The system is designed to offer 'real speeds' based on historic road use to allow you to avoid heavily congested areas or plot your a way round the speediest roads and has additional application in areas like the emergency services as well as being a convenience for your regular road-user. 90% of the most travelled roads in Germany have also been included and 24-hour speed values are included in 15-minutes intervals, which is apparently the best way to present the most relevant historic traffic information at various times of the day. - Paul Lester [Geoconnexion] YouTube Half Life 2 Steam
