Our information system viaRODOS is used by the Czech Television for traffic news

22. 9. 2014 News
System viaRODOS was developed within the University’s National Supercomputing Centre IT4Innovations. The system helps drivers determine current traffic situations on selected roads in the Czech Republic. It focuses on traffic jams, length of delays and effective detours. This reliable system is now being used by the Czech Television in its everyday Studio 6 broadcast.

The application viaRODOS can be found at viarodos.cz. Information is updated every half minute.

Information is acquired primarily from 130 thousand referential cars, which are monitored by satellite systems. An expert from VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava Martin Hájek says: "We currently have a 6 to 7 percent coverage of traffic streams, which is sufficient to give quality information to drivers. It is actually one of the most accurate traffic monitoring systems in Europe."

Data from viaRODOS are already used by the National Traffic Information Centre as well as "Zelená vlna" of Czech Radio.
