wejo launches new products using connected vehicle data
wejo, a UK-based tech firm transforming the way the world moves through connected vehicle data, announced the launch of three new products that will improve the road experience of drivers, owners and riders in the US: Hotspot Intelligence, Live Traffic and Traffic Intelligence.
Hotspot Intelligence™ collates patterns of harsh speeding and braking, helping wejo’s customers and partners such as departments of transport and other road safety management agencies to identify correlations between driver behaviors and incident hotspots. The product enables users to better understand the contextual journeys around hotspots, identifying potential causes and mapping areas with similar driver behaviors and no pattern of incidents over a period of time. This information allows users to take informed actions, such as improving signage, signals and road layouts to make roads safer and less congested.
Live Traffic™ delivers a new perspective on traffic flows. wejo’s vehicle data is accurate down to intersection level, identifying which roads are congested or clear, including exactly where there is congestion and when. This new granular information empowers wejo’s customers and partners, such as departments of transport and other road safety management agencies plus traffic app developers. They can now make better informed decisions, as Live Traffic takes the guesswork out of congestion monitoring, toll road use and signalling, using speed and direction of travel to give precise traffic information, in real time.
Traffic Intelligence™ enables end-users to build an accurate, historic view of traffic volumes, exposing underlying patterns in traffic data that aren’t always visible with current monitoring and measurement technology alone. It helps users understand and manage seasonal traffic trends, model travel times and plan more efficient routing during construction projects or major sports or musical events, for example. Traffic Intelligence accurately pinpoints vehicle volumes to identify genuine trends and predict behaviors. It reveals multi-type road traffic performance to reduce the time drivers spend getting to their destination.
