British connected vehicle data start-up Wejo has launched a new solution which aims to provide a real-time picture of traffic and road conditions to help improve overall efficiency and safety on road networks
Wejo RTTI uses aggregated data derived from CAVs and can be harnessed by public agencies, civil engineering firms, mapping & navigation providers as well as logistics companies to get a better view of what’s happening. The company added this insight allows for a real-world impact on road safety and congestion within a community using easily digestible real-time traffic data.
Furthermore, the solution includes ultra-low latency, highly granular traffic updates and accurate traffic events, as well as real-time speeds and travel-times for roads. This service is designed to enable quick detection of changing traffic conditions, identification of road closures and unexpected slowdowns situations.
Wejo RTTI is available via APIs and can help ride sharing applications, logistics companies and other gig-economy companies improve estimated time of arrivals. It also enables the ability to implement dynamic pricing for congestion charging on routes, at tolls and in parking structures.
“Wejo has always been at the forefront of making connected vehicle data available to all – now we are doing the same for real-time traffic information to help our customers understand, anticipate, and respond to what is happening on roads and highways,” said Richard Barlow, founder and CEO of Wejo.
“Wejo RTTI can empower our customers to shape the future of transport and road safety to drive the future of smart mobility, smart cities and smart living.”
Visibility into real-time traffic data allows users to proactively recommend safety improvements to road networks, identify urban traffic congestion patterns as they happen and make decisions based on accurate real-time intelligent aggregated data, the start-up added.
Wejo said its system also provides accurate insights without human intervention, removing any bias from the research. Actionable insights derived from the solution can be used to mitigate risks and improve safety.
