The Mobile Millenium has been announced by the Nokia Research Centre with the assistance of the University of California and Berkeley.
The Mobile Millennium is an application that is able to track down and report the traffic of GPS-enabled phones. This can be done by having the GPS-coordinates monitor the vehicles that will pass through the system’s virtual geographic markers. The GPS-enabled mobile phones will then send unidentified speed and location reading to Nokia servers. Afterwards, the data will be incorporated into traffic models that are capable of estimating the traffic flow. It will then be relayed back to the mobile phones.
The pilot programme is launching in the San Francisco Bay area, using the Nokia N95.
