Honda Technology To Save You From Traffic Jams

Honda-Traffic-Jam-Detector
Japanese carmaker Honda has successfully developed a technology that will save you from traffic jams. The company has developed a traffic congestion detector, first of its kind in the world, that determines a person's way of driving and the possibility to cause a traffic jam.

However, this is not a system that works alike GPS systems that alerts drivers to take another route. The traffic jam detector helps the driver avoid traffic by monitoring the acceleration, deceleration patterns of a vehicle, recording it and in the process, determining whether or not that pattern can cause traffic congestion.

Based on the recorded data, the system will show necessary information on the display on the central console. The system will instruct drivers how to drive, ie, acceleration, deceleration etc to avoid traffic congestion.

Honda has already carried out tests on the system. The results show that the system also helps improve average speed and fuel efficiency of the car. Let's hope Honda will install the system to its cars soon.
