ORTEC and NAVTEQ to develop Congestion Patterns module

According to ORTEC's TD product manager, Theodoor Torn, the updated Congestion Patterns Module will incorporate traffic pattern and delay statistics – generated by NAVTEQ – while creating routes in ORTEC TD.
"A unique aspect of the updated module is the fact that the information is modelled according to a delay pattern for trucks," said Torn. "NAVTEQ already delivered traffic data for cars, but because trucks move differently through traffic, an adapted model was needed."
A project to fine-tune the updated module has begun at one of ORTEC's most prominent clients.
The updated module will be available as part of ORTEC TD in 2010.
