Abstract

A location based service and method configured to provide a mechanism for delivering traffic information to a subscribing user. The method is implemented on a computing infrastructure and includes setting up geo-boundaries at one or more predefined intervals. The method further includes receiving a signal from an active mobile device as it passes at least two of the geo-boundaries at the one or more predefined intervals, and determining a traffic incident from the received signal.
