Bangalore will use SMS to ease traffic jams

The Bangalore traffic police has tied up with mobile service providers to provide people traffic information through a simple SMS, reports IBN live.

"Now Airtel users can send an SMS to 54321 and get updates on traffic jams, bus locations and even travel routes and time.

The logic is simple. Mobile service providers have access to data about concentration of people. Based on the movement of people, they can determine the approximate number of vehicles on the road."
