Metropolitan Police Bureau of Thailand has launched a newly created application using which drivers in the capital of Thailand can now avoid traffic jams by checking the real-time traffic status on their mobile devices. Thanks to the new application that has brought a sigh of relief for daily commuters and office goers. Citizens can access the city’s real-time CCTV on the go via 3G, and be updated with the latest traffic news feeds and accidents. Apart from real-time CCTV pictures, the Traffic Police app also provide ‘Emergency Call’ function in which citizens can call for necessary emergency helps without dialing any phone number. This traffic app will facilitate Bangkok road commuters, expand Traffic Police’s services to wider channel as a value-add to the original Traffic Police’s website, and provide effective and up-to-date e-services to citizen. The picture transmission from the street and highway’s CCTVs, operated by National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) will be delayed for five minutes, but it is enough for users to see the traffic conditions and plan their route. The Application can be downloaded free of charge from App Store and Android Market. For information: http://thailand.prd.go.th/
