June 29, 2009 at 10:18 Akado shows traffic jams live
It is strange that Akado herself did not post this news, and even more strange, no one has published it before me.
Akado has a nice resource that shows video cameras installed in different places of Moscow that shoot carriageways, which allows you to really understand the situation on the road. Unlike GoogleMaps in Akado, cameras show live video directly, not a 20-minute fresh picture, which is very nice.
I have long dreamed about such a service, to be honest, I hope that responsible users of Akada will add even more video cameras there. Let's ask them :)

UPD. Thought: But it’s not so difficult to recognize the speed of objects on the camera, tie it to a section of the road, and actually show traffic jams. This is much more reliable than collecting data from drivers who drive around the city. It’s not necessary to do them at every intersection — it’s enough to cover all intersections of the Moscow Ring Road, Treshka, Four, Sadovy and Bulvarny with radial tracks — there will not be so many (probably 200).
Although, I’m probably not the first to think about it.
