TrafficCast’s Dynaflow 2.0 Software Predicts Traffic Conditions

Today, TrafficCast formally announced Dynaflow 2.0, a significantly updated version of its real-time traffic flow software. The application, which can run on mobile devices and GPS navigators, reports the traffic speed on specific roadways, and estimates how long it will take to reach a destination.

Version 2.0 adds predictive functionality, forecasting how fast roads will be moving in the future, in addition to reporting how clogged they are at a given moment. It does this by taking into account not just historical road speeds, but weather reports, construction projects, and other upcoming events.

Like version 1.0, Dynaflow 2.0 uses red, yellow, and green color coding to signal to users, at a glance, how crowded roadways are.
