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 German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.
