Check out a hi-resolution bird’s eye view of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary by Microsoft’s Live Maps.
Furthermore, Microsoft recently introduced a Web-based service for driving directions that incorporates complex software models to help users avoid traffic jams.
The new service’s software technology, called Clearflow, was developed over the last five years by a group of artificial-intelligence researchers at the company’s Microsoft Research laboratories. It is an ambitious attempt to apply machine-learning techniques to the problem of traffic congestion. The system is intended to reflect the complex traffic interactions that occur as traffic backs up on freeways and spills over onto city streets.
The Clearflow system is freely available as part of the company’s Live.com site (maps.live.com) for 72 cities in the United States. Microsoft says it will give drivers alternative route information that is more accurate and attuned to current traffic patterns on both freeways and side streets.
Hey Alex -
Saw your name on the Band of Bloggers list…
and that you are from Toronto!
Will you be able to come to the gathering for Canadians on the Wednesday night of T4G?
We will meet in room 112 of the convention centre at 9:30 PM (or immediately after the evening’s final session wraps up). Would be great to see another Toronto boy there!!
