Tele Atlas has deployed a system that uses historic traffic data (FCD) collected from commercial vehicle fleets over a period of two years to provide improved routing services.

The project is close to what TRACK&TRADE will be achieving in that historic FCD is analyzed to derive dynamic travel times. TRACK&TRADE additionally will provide a current data feedback channel, i.e., not relying solely on historic data but also on current FCD.

The Tele Atlas system is based on technology developed by Inrix, a startup company based in Kirkland, WA.
