  These days news about traffic jams could only obtained from the FM channels, but in future it could be done through smart devices.
With the traffic situation getting worse in cities, a Kochi-based start-up firm Amidray has come out with Blockout Traffic, an Android application that will give detailed information of traffic block/jams on the roads and locations in user’s location. This can function within a 25-30 km radius.
The features include display of traffic blocks/jams near your current location.
It has 'I'M STUCK' button to post traffic blocks in an area and can display accurately location of the traffic blocks .Time of block report is shown in each block post.
With the urban populations growing larger every day there are obviously worries about traffic jams. Researchers predict that nearly 75% of the world's population will live in cities by the year 2050.
This could be new to India but in the US and Canada the app called Beat the Traffic is popular to tackle to enjoy a hassle-free commute.
These apps work by tracking your location through the smartphone's GPS device and feeding traffic data for that location into a map.
