Journey Dynamics Announces Latest Traffic Speed Forecasts for Cars and Trucks


LONDON, October 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- Latest Predictive Traffic Forecast Empowers Cars and Trucks to Avoid
Time-based Congestion and Reduce Fuel Consumption

Journey Dynamics, a privately-owned provider of traffic
intelligence solutions, http://www.journeydynamics.com today announces the
latest release of its traffic speed forecasts for both cars and trucks.
Covering the entire UK road network, this highly accurate information is
being used in applications from navigation devices to logistics software to
enable drivers to avoid congestion and reduce fuel consumption.

The latest Journey Dynamics traffic speed forecasts are based
upon current versions of NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas maps. The forecasts have been
tested against 10,000 real, driven journeys which when totalled are the
equivalent of more than twice the length of the UK's road network.

Future versions of the product will forecast vehicles speeds
across Europe, with French versions to be launched later in the year. These
will, amongst other enhancements, also feature the Journey Dynamics strategic
driver personalisation technology.

John Holland, CEO at Journey Dynamics comments, "As the only
provider to offer a comprehensive product incorporating all aspects of
traffic speed forecasting for both cars and trucks, Journey Dynamics has
aggressive plans for expansion across Europe. We're continuing to make
significant developments in predictive traffic and driver personalisation -
aiming to be the quality traffic intelligence partner of choice."

The Journey Dynamics traffic speed forecast for cars and
trucks continues to be the first of its type in Europe that takes full
account not only of the time of day and day of week of travel, but also
vehicle type. The information is available to application developers, device
manufacturers, technology partners and third party software developers for
logistics companies, to build smarter traffic intelligence into journey
planning and navigation device applications. Compact datasets enable the
information to be used in PNDs and smartphones, in-vehicle systems and web
applications.

The enhanced forecast uniquely includes both speed and speed
range to enable Journey Dynamics customers to arm consumers and business
users with greater confidence in the routes selected and estimated times of
arrival.

Logistics companies looking to optimise supply chains that use
Journey Dynamics' traffic speed forecasts would see improved confidence in
the timing of each truck journey as well as reducing the excess supply in
just-in-time delivery. Fleet departure times can be adjusted to save fuel by
avoiding time-based congestion.

Holland concludes, "This latest release is part of Journey
Dynamics' ongoing commitment to improve the value gained from accurate speed
forecasts that enable smarter routing and greater confidence in expected
times of arrival. This will allow for more predictable journey times, routes
that avoid congestion and shorter journeys which all contribute to reduced
emissions and lower fuel consumption."
