Motorists in theUKwon’t be able to use the excuse, “Oh there was dreadful tie-up on route . . . “ (pick your motorway) when they’re late for dinner – unless there really was one. All the traffic news up to the minute will be available with the new partnership between TomTom HD Traffic and the AA. Now the AA’s Traffic News website will have real-time details of what’s going on in just about every roadway in the country.
TomTom is Europe’s leading manufacturer of automotive navigation systems, with the capacity to provide a ‘flying interface’ with the road from an oblique angle as well as a map view from directly overhead. It gathers data from mobile phones, connected navigation devices, road sensors and other sources and combines it to create a picture of actual conditions and events that affect motor travel.Motoring 1
