Trafficmaster Plc: See What's Ahead On Your Mobile
December 7 -- With over 3 million days a year spent sitting in traffic jams in the UK, most motorists will probably have at some point, wished they'd had access to a crystal ball before setting out.

Well now they can as mxData, the provider of award winning Traffic TV, the map based traffic information for mobile phones, extends its service to offer live roadside TV coverage from across all of the UK's busiest motorways. This now represents the largest mobile CCTV network and includes images from the M25, M4, M5, M1, M40, M42, M6 and the M62.

Traffic TV allows motorists to view moving traffic images and real-time traffic information from their mobile phones. The service has access to over 500 Highways Agency roadside cameras and up-to-the-minute traffic data taken from Trafficmaster's 7,500 sensors positioned alongside motorways and trunk roads throughout the UK. So before motorists set off they can make appropriate changes to their journey in order to avoid traffic delays. When used in conjunction with a hands free car kit they can also receive automatic, in-car updates as they drive.

Commercial Director of mxData, Ian Tomson-Smith comments:

"In a recent survey carried out with What Mobile? Magazine, motorists believed they could save nearly three hours a week if they could see the traffic conditions ahead. This is why TrafficTV has become so popular - The partnerships with the Highways Agency and Trafficmaster means that TrafficTV is able to provide the most reliable and comprehensive mobile traffic information available."

Traffic TV can be downloaded directly onto most mobile handsets with a colour screen. Once installed, customers can simply connect to the service on their phone to receive details of the latest delays, displayed on a scrolling map. Customers can zoom into an area of interest and, in addition to live CCTV footage of the affected area, they can find out how fast traffic is moving and any expected delay times on the road.

Traffic TV recently won the Best Data Application on a Personal Mobile Device Awards 2005 at the Mobile Data Awards. It was awarded for its ability to show real-time traffic information and moving traffic pictures to help road users save time and avoid congestion.

Thieves home in on cars with satellite navigation

A HUGE increase in the theft of satellite navigation systems, this year’s must-have Christmas present, has prompted police to warn drivers to remove all traces of them when parking and leaving their cars.
Scotland Yard has set up a group of senior officers to investigate the problem after thousands were stolen in a few weeks, accounting for almost 10 per cent of all thefts from cars in London.



Police say that about 500 a month are being stolen and, with the systems being a very popular Christmas present, thefts will most likely continue to escalate.

Yesterday more than 100 officers took part in a cross-county operation aimed at disrupting the gangs involved. The Metropolitan Police, along with officers from Essex and the City of London, raided business addresses and homes in London and Essex during Operation Smother after analysts noticed a surge in the number of systems being stolen.

A firearm and several satnav systems were recovered as well as high-performance cars and mopeds. It is believe the vehicles were stolen to be used as getaway cars. The operation was run across several boroughs as stolen cars often cross borders as they are disposed of or broken down for parts.

Superintendent Gerry Campbell, of Barking and Dagenham police, said: “This was the culmination of three months of hard work and planning to take out the middle tier of organised motor vehicle crime.”

Last month 8 per cent of all thefts were navigation systems — still a relative rarity despite their increased popularity — while 9 per cent of thefts were mobile telephones, which most people have.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Over the past few months it has been recognised that thefts from cars have gone up for the first time in many years and this is largely due to the theft of satellite navigation systems.

“We have discovered that about 500 a month are being stolen in London and, considering not many people have them yet, that is a lot. With Christmas coming we think that this number is going to grow dramatically as more and more people get them. The systems are easily transferable and although they cost between £200 and £400 to buy they can be sold for between £50 and £100 on websites or in pubs.”

A senior officer at Essex police said: “It is only going to get worse. The systems are stolen and then sold on to fund the purchase and distribution of class A drugs.”

Drivers often take the systems off the dashboard and put them in the glove compartment. But they leave suction pads on the windows, letting thieves know that the system is probably still in the car. Police say drivers should to remove all traces of the systems and leave the glove compartments open.

In Norwich three ambulances have had their satnav systems ripped out in the last two weeks. Systems have been installed in police vehicles for the first time, including firearms squad cars, to avoid delays while answering 999 calls.

A GROWING MARKET



The systems cost between £130 and £2,000
They are the fastest growing part of Halfords’ business
Many DVD-based systems cover the whole of Europe, including farm tracks
10 per cent of new cars sold in Europe have them
The first satellite-based navigation tests were conducted in 1964
24 satellites of the US Global Positioning System (GPS) circle the globe at an altitude of about 12,500 miles. They transmit signals that enable a position to be defined to within 100 metres

BETTER BUY A SMARTNAV THEN.. THAT CANT GET NICKED
