7643 Here Technologies has launched a new generation of its Real-Time Traffic service, which integrates live traffic probe data from sensors on 2125 Audi, 1731 BMW and 1685 Mercedes-Benz vehicles to provide greater accuracy and more precise information about traffic conditions.


Here Real-Time Traffic, available to current OEMs and industries covering more than 60 countries, offers improvements in traffic flow data, especially on arterial roads. For more than half of those countries, the service also provides incident information with features such as Traffic Safety Warning.

Aided by new hard-braking sensor data which Here is now processing, this feature allows more relevant and timely notifications to the vehicle and can also be used by ADAS applications.

The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only
