TANN TRAFFIC adds Phoenix az Real-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Los Angeles, CA – January 23, 2007 – To better meet the growing commuter appetite for instant access to real-time highway traffic information, TANN Traffic has added the Phoenix AZ market to its growing list of major US cities of traveler information.  As millions of commuters crowd world highways each day, they are hungry for accurate, up-to-date traffic congestion reports. Travel Advisory News Network (TANN), is a traveler information resource that publishes real-time traffic congestion speed on maps covering major U.S. metropolitan cities and real-time highway traffic cameras from major cities throughout the world. The Phoenix Real Time Traffic map (http://traffic.tann.net/phoenix/) shows traffic speeds as well as camera images of traffic conditions along the heavily traveled corridors of the I-10, I-17, SR 143, SR 51 and along North/South loop 101.

Commuters can have easy access to TANN’s Traffic Congestion Web site (http://traffic.tann.net) or they can obtain more comprehensive personalized information on TANN CommuteOne.  TANN CommuteOne (http://commuteone.tann.com) offers a personalized traffic map home page option and features such as traffic tips and alerts, commuter support and WiFi hot spots. Users can personalize two traffic maps for quick access and keep an eye on five highway camera images that represents the heaviest congestion location on their travel route. Subscribers can personalize the access to their five favorite mobile traffic maps and five hotspot traffic cameras on the CommuteOne web site. New subscribers can sign up for a 30 day free trial at http://traffic.tann.net/commuteone_landing.php.

TANN CommuteOne includes features such Multi-Purpose RideMatch, CommuteSaver and Market Info. RideMatch allows subscribers to create their own RideMatch Buddy list for either work trips or casual entertainment trips.  CommuteSaver allows the subscriber to maintain their own cost analysis of alternate travel options such as carpool, telecommute, bicycle, walking and transit.  Market Info provides the user with information such as transit trip Itineraries, park and ride locations, entertainment and shopping information, weather and general local city information.

Few networks match TANN’s depth, breadth and quality of traveler information beyond speed data. Partnerships with state departments of transportation, highway patrols and other public and private organizations enable TANN to obtain and process the raw data from highway traffic sensors and cameras and public safety traffic alerts, assemble it into a finished traveler information map product and deliver a full-service traffic information package to its subscribers and affiliated partners.
