Your phone can now help you avoid traffic

For most people, food clothes and shelter are most
priorities of life. You worry about these things because their
absence dehumanizes a being and denigrates standard
living.
But for those, particularly, living in Lagos metropolis, these,
are ironically, not far fetched. No matter how poor, in
Lagos, one must feed. There is food for all categories of
people. Problem, is when one steps off his category to
where his or her earnings can not accommodate. There is
also abundant clothes to cover everybody’s unclothedness. No
matter the income strata, Oshodi, orile and Yaba markets,
can give you what to wear.
Similarly, no amount of beautification of bridges and
squares in Lagos can turn those places away from being
habitable homes for many people. In Lagos, there must be a
place to sleep till next day.
What is apparently in short supply is good and motorable
roads. On a bad day, a journey of 20 kilometers can take
two days with attendant risks of robbery, car vandalisation
or even loss of lives in extreme cases.
However, one good thing about technology is its wide, open
ears. It listens and where such problems exist, it goes to
provide succor.
Now a tech startup company based in Lagos, Panthelope
Technologies, has developed a new mobile traffic solution,
“Traffic Lite”, a community-based traffic application aimed
at providing real-time traffic updates to the local
community.
What is TrafficLite?
The app described as “contributing to the common good out
there on the road. It is a community based traffic solution
geared to make daily road commute a breeze.
By connecting drivers, passengers and pedestrians to one
another, we help people create local driving communities
that work together to improve the quality of everyone’s daily
driving. That might mean helping them avoid the frustration
of sitting in traffic, cluing them in on police traps or shaving
five minutes off their regular commute by showing them
new alternative routes they never even knew about”
How it functions
Traffic Lite features an increasing list of popular routes
around Lagos. Once traffic lite has been downloaded at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?
id=com.panthelope.trafficliteapp, users simply create their
profiles, log in and that’s it! By just driving or walking
around with the app running passively on their mobile
phones they are in possession of traffic road data. Such
users can also take more active role by sharing road reports
on accidents, police traps, or any other hazards along the
way. This helps to give other users in the area ‘heads-up’
about what’s to come.
The app boasts of top-notch degree of accuracy of traffic
reports. The report shows the actual cumulative speed on
the route, actual number of road commuters present on the
route, an estimated travel time, route distance and
bottlenecks along the route. If incidentally, for some
reasons, a user’s regular route is not listed on the popular
routes, such a user can create own personal routes using
the ease to use Google Map and even share with friends.
