deCarta, a supplier of software platforms and services for the Location Based Services (LBS), have announced Traffic Manager at the CTIA Wireless I.T. and Entertainment conference in San Francisco. It allows their customers to add traffic-enabled maps and routing to their LBS application.
deCarta's routing capabilities together with real-time traffic data from NAVTEQ Traffic contains capabilities for partner companies to include SatNav traffic-aware applications, corporate fleet tracking and high-volume map-based Yellow Page directories, map-enabled search engines and travel sites.
"Consumers and enterprise are both looking for information they can use to make practical and productive driving decisions rather than just guessing based on where the accidents are," said deCarta CEO J. Kim Fennell. "Armed with highly efficient real-time traffic-aware routing applications, both types of end users will find a faster and more efficient path to arriving at their destination."
NAVTEQ Traffic's real-time traffic data currently provides continuously updated traffic flow, delays and drive times as well as incident information across dozens of U.S and Canadian traffic areas. It includes information such as accidents, broken down vehicles, road construction and closures.
"deCarta has proven how to utilize traffic data to maximum effect in applications and they are at the forefront of answering the increasing demand for dynamic content capabilities," said Winston Guillory, senior vice president, consumer and enterprise, NAVTEQ. "The combination of their geospatial platform with the coverage and accuracy of NAVTEQ Traffic will drive a new class of location applications for consumers and enterprises." _________________ Robert Brady |
