KRON, the Young
Broadcasting station in San Francisco, has added a new dimension to informing
viewers of traffic conditions in the Bay Area with the addition of Beat the
Traffic 3-D technology, which gives viewers a look at traffic from a
completely different angle. KRON viewers can use the up-to-the-minute traffic
reports to plan their commute and travel. HD maps and real-time traffic
speeds, incident reports and travel times will help commuters during all KRON
newscasts and live streaming anytime on the station’s Web site. Beat the
Traffic provides accurate traffic information by pulling road data directly
from Caltrans, CHP, 511.org and other private and public traffic monitoring
networks. The forecasting feature provides historical traffic information to
predict how long it will take to arrive at a destination at a given time.
KRON will use Beat the Traffic’s travel forecasting feature to give viewers a
better idea of what to expect on the roadways.
