Does Papago give you live traffic info and advises on reroutes based on traffic conditions? tongue.gif

MFM was supposed to launch TMC with Papago. The project faced too many variables. Controlling and broadcasting traffic was a major setback. First there is a need to address the information. where the traffic jam is, and to what extent that it requires rerouting. then there's the question of when. Traffic jam on that road, starts when ? ends when ? who's gonna update that information. Then there's also the question of which rerouting should it bring you to ?
Also the question arises, which road should we take care of . Nobody can take care of every single road in Msia. So if you just concentrate on major roads such as highways and expressways, what can be done to ensure that the re-routing is more efficient ? nobody is looking at smaller roads hence traffic is unknown.

i highly doubt Waze can provide you an efficient TMC. MFM has more followers and data flowing in than users of Waze.  IF MFM can hit and surpass that glitch, i believe Waze will have a chance. But as of now, MFM and papago has hit that wall, and i bet you Waze cannot even answer the questions above nor do they know of the indication.

As report, even hitz.fm traffic report only reports the major roads. Does not even give you a bypass route.

Waze users rely on each other. Who updates the live traffic nobody knows. And how reliable also nobody knows. Wrong or right info also nobody knows. Bypass routes also nobody knows. whether the bypass routes are as jammed up also nobody knows.

I dont think its wise to use such tech when its not implemented properly.
And TMC is an old tech. It's so old, nobody really bothers about it. Papago and MFM should be in the midst of a breakthrough project currently. i think should be halfway done by now. The project should serve ppl much better in ways i cannot reveal.

Your ignorance shines through. Tell your bosses at Papago and M3 Asia that their product are about to be made irrelevant by free to use apps such as Google Maps & Waze.
