TomTom
will provide students, teachers and visitors at the University
of Sunderland with real time traffic information. Congestion
information will be displayed on screens across the two campuses and
aired over the University’s radio service. In addition TomTom HD Traffic
will be included on the university’s website.
The University of Sunderland is one of five universities in the North
East of England and some of its staff and students travel into
Sunderland from other parts of the region, some more than 20 miles
one-way.
"Our staff, students and visitors will benefit from reliable
up-to-the-minute traffic updates from TomTom’s HD Traffic which will
allow them to plan their journeys and avoid any problems,” says
Graeme Robinson, Head of Campus Services at the University of Sunderland.
TomTom HD Traffic provides highly accurate traffic information of the
complete road network based on the information of over 80 million mobile
probes and 1.4 million TomTom LIVE satnav users. Updates are provided
every two minutes and as soon as a delay occurs TomTom suggests an
alternative, faster route if one is available.
