Microsoft’s Live Search Maps has a new system that has information about side streets. Also, Inrix just introduced a traffic alert system across the U.S. Together; the two companies will help drivers avoid heavy traffic and delays.
"ClearFlow," Microsoft’s traffic system, has sensors that take combined information about highways and side streets to help the driver know which routes and highways are best for them to take.
ClearFlow also gives information regarding the nearest street to the highway, number of lanes on the street, type of shops close to the street, and the number of intersections that occur per mile.
Originally, the system was designed only for Seattle but has now extended its services to 72 cities across the U.S.
Microsoft plans on improving its Windows Mobile offering to allow ClearFlow capabilities. Currently, ClearFlow is only accessible via a computer.
According to Inrix, MapQuest also has plans of offering its U.S. customers with traffic alerts and enabling users to receive alerts on their mobile phones.
