3x Benefit by Local Competence –Direct Use of Taxi-FCD to Generate Road Traffic Messages

Established radio service providers get more and more competitive pressure by web based providers. Local radio stations focus on high topical and precise regional traffic information as one of their unique features to stabilise competitive basis. Therefore traffic information will be augmented by self determined contents facilitated by addicted communities detecting traffic jam manually. More efficient is to utilise Floating Car Data recorded by fleets. In Dresden/Germany a cooperation between the locally focused radio station Radio Dresden, the Dresden taxi-co-operative and Technische Universität Dresden has been established. The cooperation has benefits for all involved parties. The radio station is able to provide more topical information than the competitors. Benefit for the academic institute is the broad impact emerging of innovation potential. Taxi-co-operative is getting more public attention for their services by referring as data provider in the traffic news.
