Telecom technology has now come to the rescue of those who find themselves stuck in traffic jams, trying to locate alternative routes to detour towards a smoother traffic flow. ‘Traffic Vizzion’ now makes it possible to keep track of the road ahead by capturing live images from thousands of traffic cameras to your cell phone.

Traffic Vizzion enables your cell phone’s GPS and Bluetooth capabilities to establish your current location, so that it can show you images of the road up ahead. If your phone has GPS, it automatically shows cameras near your present location or along the road straight ahead of you, much before you reach there.

Tools such as Traffic Vizzion can save you time, money and more importantly, the frustration of going through the harrowing experience of getting stuck in a traffic jam. You get prompt answers to questions like which route is less congested, what is causing the jam, how the weather conditions on a particular route are, has an accident taken place on the road ahead, does the particular road save your time etc.

Traffic Vizzion is useful to commuters, business travellers, commuters, long-distance drivers and anyone who needs to know the conditions of the road ahead. The system is currently available in many states in the US and Canada. It is likely to take some time for this technology to be available in other parts of the world.
