Smartphone Software Helps Drivers Keep an Eye on Traffic in the UK
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 11, 2006
Vizzion, Inc. has announced that it’s popular North American service, “Traffic Vizzion” (pronounced “vision”), which enables drivers to see images from thousands of traffic cameras that line our roads directly on their cell phone, is now available in the UK.
A driver using Traffic Vizzion can pull up images from cameras along their intended route and spot traffic congestion or poor road conditions well in advance, giving them a chance to take a different route. Utilized on a regular basis, Traffic Vizzion can result in considerable savings in time, fuel and frustration.
“Traffic congestion costs UK businesses £20 billion a year in lost productivity alone, due to missed appointments, late arrivals and overrun schedules.”, says Chris Cooper, president of Vizzion, Inc., who hails originally from the UK. “We are pleased our service can now help out travellers in this region.”
Drivers whose cell phones can connect to a GPS (Global Positioning System) can go one step further and make use of the unique “Watch Road Ahead” feature in Traffic Vizzion. With access to the position and direction information from the GPS, Traffic Vizzion uses Patent Pending technology to automatically show images from cameras several miles up ahead, giving the driver enough warning to get off the highway at the exit preceding a traffic jam. “It’s like having your own personal traffic reporter.” says Cooper.
Traffic Vizzion is initially available in 11 cities across the UK. Traffic Vizzion is targeted at commuters, business travellers, long-haul drivers, delivery drivers, holiday-makers, or anyone else who needs to see road conditions in advance. Traffic Vizzion is also available in over 40 cities and metro areas in North America.
