Decell's Live Traffic System, Galgalaz Radio Station |
||||
Within a short time, Galgalatz had made a name for itself amongst the Israeli media and Galgalatz's traffic reports are frequently considered as the common traffic information source for the public.
Challenge:
While call-ins reports are an important psychological link between listeners and the radio station and callers are recognized by name and thanked for their effort in helping, traffic reports from this source are not very accurate in nature. Traffic cameras are only indicators of traffic problems, but depend on location and availability, they and cover only mainly intersections and small sections of roads. In addition, they give only a quick indication of the traffic situation, failing to give precise speed and delay information.
Requirement:
Solution: Answering Galgalatz's specific request, Decell developed a customized Web-based interface that includes a direct feed of its real-time traffic information both as graphic maps as well as text announcements, displaying not only travel times and average speeds, but also incident information.
With the arrival of Decell’s traffic system and its Web-based interface, Galgalatz has acquired for the first time the ability to obtain real-time accurate traffic information on all major roads in Israel with detailed speed, delay, and incident information. The current information is read live in Galgalatz every fifteen minutes in special traffic bulletins, informing drivers of the exact and updated road situation they are about to encounter. |
