Cell Phones to Monitor Traffic In California Trial
Some 100 UC Berkeley students will participate in an experiment called "Mobile Century" next week in which they'll use GPS-equipped Nokia N95 mobile phones as TRAFFIC SENSORS. The students will drive all day between the Northern-California towns of ward and Fremont, while their locations will be uploaded to a server every 3 seconds. The experiment will test the superiority of cell-phone-based real-time traffic monitoring over the current fixed system.

if you download google maps to your blackberry or treo you can get traffic flow updates on your google map
This is a really nice idea for people that would like a printout of where they have been why is Google mapping not making the vending machine map printer for welcome centers so people will know where to go before they arrive at some gasoline station that has no earthly idea what language your speaking.
