The issue with traffic movements is you really need the cell tower movement information from carriers, without this these traffic flows are at best an estimation.
As for openmoko: What about, in car GPS mode, reporting unusual speed fluctuations? Ex: you're on a 130 km/h road, and your gps reports 40 km/h = traffic jam. gprs link up, upload info + timestamp to community server When you query a car travel planning (i.e. ask your gps app to show you the way somewhere), do a simple query to the community traffic jam server; if the chosen path shows quite recent alerts, it would calculate an alternate ununcombered road. This could also be used periodically... _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
