New Real Time Audio Traffic Service for the UK: TrafficRadio.org.uk

New Real Time Traffic Service for the UK: TrafficRadio.org.uk

Launched by transport minister Tom Harris on 26 July 2007, the service is available on digital radio and the internet. Drivers can use it to find out the latest traffic conditions on motorways and major A roads in England, emergency incidents and roadworks.

The 24 hour service is updated every 10 minutes at busy times and offers both regional traffic news and national headlines. There will also be short information bulletins to explain the Traffic Officer service, as well as provide safety advice and tips about planning journeys...Initially the service is being produced by traffic news broadcaster Trafficlink, which will compile information from the Highways Agency's National Traffic Control Centre (NTCC). Such data includes real time information from 3,750 road sensors and 1,000 CCTV cameras

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
