Slow down! HERE introduces Traffic Safety Warning Alerts
HERE introduces traffic jam alerts to inform drivers when they are approaching a tail end of a jam. By receiving these timely alerts, drivers can begin to reduce their speed and avoid an accident. The warnings could manifest in several ways, such as a warning light on the dashboard or an audible alert so that the driver can react in time. They can also be used by transportation agencies to monitor jams and alert travelers. Semi-autonomous and future fully-autonomous vehicles can ingest this dynamic data to provide a safe and smooth ride.
