Highest quality data available
Weather Central finds the highest quality data
in each RouteCast market, assuring that your traffic presentation will be second to none. By
providing detailed flow, incident reports, construction updates, traffic cameras and even
animated radar, RouteCast provides users with the full traffic picture, making your station
the trusted source for traffic information in your market.
User-defined routes and alerting
Because your viewers are concerned with the
routes they travel most, RouteCast offers user-defined routes that can be saved within the
application. Users can view traffic flow over their route and also receive email traffic alerts
based on pre-selected traffic threshold. They can also receive daily alerts regarding the
traffic conditions at pre-selected times throughout the day, ideal for planning morning and
afternoon commutes.
Weather integrated into flow
RouteCast is the only online traffic
application to incorporate weather information into its traffic flow projections. Using
Weather Central’s patented technology, RouteCast calculates both traffic flow and projected
weather forecast for each Traffic Message Channel (TMC). This, combined with animated radar
over the Microsoft® Virtual Earth™ map, gives viewers an exceptionally detailed look at the
traffic conditions in their metro area.
