TomTom upgrades TomTom Traffic

TomTom has announced a range of enhancements to its Traffic service, benefiting drivers and organisations who have licensing agreements with the company. The enhancements include turn-dependent jam information, which detects the different ‘turn dependent’ traffic situations at junctions and enables the navigation system to take into account jams specific to the driver’s turn intention on their specific route; dynamic speed limit messages, which will automatically monitor highways with variable speed signs.

1692 TomTom has announced a range of enhancements to its Traffic service, benefiting drivers and organisations who have licensing agreements with the company.

The enhancements include turn-dependent jam information, which detects the different ‘turn dependent’ traffic situations at junctions and enables the navigation system to take into account jams specific to the driver’s turn intention on their specific route; dynamic speed limit messages, which will automatically monitor highways with variable speed signs.

Weather influenced predictions will use advanced weather information along with real-time and historic data, to improve the accuracy of congestion predictions and after rain or snow the affected areas will continue to be monitored (and drivers notified) until the road returns to normal.
