Live traffic jams on Targeo.pl

The new Traffic Live service was made available on the Targeo map portal on 16. February. It allows you to locate traffic jams throughout Poland just a few minutes after they occur. This is the first service of this type in Poland and one of the first in Europe. In August last year, a beta version of the Traffic website was made available on Targeo. However, it presented only historical data. The new Traffic Live service also shows the traffic situation “live”. Information about the current traffic intensity is collected based on measurements from several dozen thousand vehicles equipped with GPS and the AutoMapa Traffic system. The data is processed on an ongoing basis and quickly taken into account in the current road situation shown on Targeo.pl. As a result, the interactive speed map now also takes into account traffic jams caused by, for example, current weather conditions or accidents. Targeo.pl users can view the history of measurements from the last two days, the current situation (“now” tab) and the forecast for tomorrow on the map. The current situation and two-day history take into account current speed measurements, while the forecast is based on historical data from a longer period. As Rafał Mikołajczyk, president of the management board of Indigo Sp. z o. o. (operator of the Targeo.pl website), tests of the Traffic Live service confirmed that in Warsaw the system correctly detects most of the unusual difficulties lasting longer than 15 minutes.
