Weather Forecasts and Current Road Conditions from TrafficLand and Global Weather
TrafficLand®, an aggregator of live traffic video in the U.S., has reached an agreement with Global Weather Corp. (GWC) to market a service combining hyper-local forecasts of road and atmospheric weather conditions with real-time local traffic camera video.
The combined content is available through an application programming interface (API) that allows customers to choose data layers, which can include hyper-local weather data for road conditions, temperature, precipitation and wind speed, as well as real-time video from local roadside traffic cameras.
The new service, delivered from a commercial grade datacenter and network, is scalable for mass audiences.
The groups noted that weather-related accidents account for 24% of all crashes and the costs to the loss of life, personal injury and property damage run into the billions of dollars annually.
