Traffic demand, and Waypoint

Muszek998 · Dec 27th 2017

Hi, my idea is to integrate our game with the google system which shows us on the map the current intensity (scrren1), and various events (screen2, screen3).

There are four types of intensity in google
Green - The road is passable
Orange - The road is passable, but slightly overwhelmed
Red - a large slowdown in traffic
Dark red - traffic jams or even stopping traffic

In the game it would work in such a way that depending on the intensity of our fire trucks, would adjust the speed of movement.

For example, when there is a dark red route, our vehicles would move slowly, which would result in a real break through the traffic jam.

"route points" would consist in that: when sending a unit to the action, we could add a route point to which the unit would first go, and only then to the event ...

Fire station-> route point-> Fire

Regards

I have never really thought about that but that's a fantastic idea.

While I do like the idea, since only the mobile versions have access to Google/Apple maps and therefore traffic, I don't think it could be implemented anytime soon. I don't believe OpenStreetMaps has a traffic utility either

While I don't truly know either way, I feel like that there's some sort of free (likely crowdsourced) traffic speed information application. INRIX may have something free but probably unlikely. Like you said Google/Apple Maps traffic speeds wouldn't work well on OSM. While I don't know very much at all about either Esri or ArcGIS there may be something out there possibly? (Honestly, just throwing out random ideas at this point.... Too tired to think straight lol)

you can access the Google traffic information on desktop pc and app. So the idea would work any where you wanted it to.

Yes, you can. But it's expensive to pay for the API if you want to use it commercially. That's why the game uses Open Street Maps
