New technology uses cell phone positioning data to report traffic tangles
by possibly noteworthy at 12:49 pm EDT, Sep 13, 2006

Engineers have developed a system for taking anonymous cell-phone location information and turning it into an illuminated traffic map that identifies congestion in real time. The system takes advantage of the steady stream of positioning cues -- untraced signals all cell phones produce, whether in use or not, as they seek towers with the strongest signals. It is the first traffic-solution technology that monitors patterns on rural roads and city streets as easily as on highways.

Developed by IntelliOne of Atlanta, Ga., the TrafficAid system could not only help guide drivers around tie-ups, but also tell emergency responders where accidents are or how effectively an evacuation is unfolding by pinpointing clusters of cell phones.

A good demonstration would be for one of these teams to line up with Tommee Pickles and crew and see if it's possible to make the CannonBall Run even faster than presently possible.

It certainly would be funny.
