ABC 30 KSFN FRESNO
“BEATS THE TRAFFIC” WITH CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Fresno, CA – ABC 30 is
about to debut the most innovative traffic system that this growing market has
ever seen called “Beat the Traffic”.
This unique state of the art automobile traffic reporting system utilizes
3D topography along with major highway arteries to create a unique visual effect
looking at traffic flow from different angles.
ABC 30 chose this ground breaking technology because it
showcases the geography of the roadways in a manner that has not been seen,
giving the viewer a realistic, three-dimensional look at traffic flow. In addition, “Beat the Traffic” will provide
its traffic forecasting system to ABC 30 which will allow the viewer to predict
how long it will take to arrive at a destination based on historical data.
“Our entire traffic reporting system has just been improved
for our viewers as well as our online users.
This will be an immense benefit to our viewing public.” Stated Joel Davis, News Director of ABC 30.
“Beat the Traffic” will debut on
July 1st in Action News AM Live at 5AM.
Triangle Software LLC, President and CEO, Andre Gueziec, who
operates the “Beat the Traffic” service, said “We are thrilled at the prospect
of working with ABC 30 KSFN who will showcase in unprecedented ways our
award-winning 3D mapping system for traffic and travel times in this rapidly
growing market”.
