2GIS launches beta version of traffic service

    On maps 2GIS now there is information about the state of the road. The 2GIS Traffic service shows the current speed of traffic, road sections are indicated in three colors depending on the degree of congestion: red - if a traffic jam has formed (traffic is slower than 20 km / h), yellow - if traffic is difficult (from 20 to 40 km / h) , green - if nothing interferes with travel and cars go faster than 40 km / h. Data is updated every 5 minutes.



    The new service is still in beta testing mode and is available only in the online version of 2GIS Novosibirsk , but in the future it will work in other cities, especially where the traffic situation is especially relevant.

    At present, information on the state of traffic in Novosibirsk 2GIS Traffic is received from a partner company engaged in monitoring vehicles - this is traffic data for nearly 1,200 vehicles equipped with GPS trackers. In the near future, the mobile version of 2GIS will also be able to become a source of information about the traffic situation.

    The peculiarity of the 2GIS Traffic service is work based on an accurate road graph. At the launch of each new city, maps created on the basis of satellite images are verified by GIS specialists directly in the "field". In the future, we constantly monitor not only changes in the reference data of companies, but also everything related to cartography, including changes in the road network.

    In the future, “2GIS Traffic” will take into account the relative state of traffic, since 20 km / h for the highway is already a traffic jam, and for a narrow street in the center - normal speed. In addition, the priority plans include the ability to view the “Traffic” layer in the 2GIS mobile version, and later on in 2GIS for PC.
