New system features mobile app, improved website and enhanced voice
recognition software
RICHMOND Governor Bob McDonnell announced today that the Virginia
Department of Transportation launched the next generation of 511 traffic
information. Motorists can download a free mobile app that will give them
real-time traffic information, visit the new 511 website with live streaming
video of traffic conditions or call the improved 511 phone system.
Virginia is a leader among state departments of transportation in
providing real-time traffic information and live streaming traffic images to
help motorists make the best travel choices, said Governor McDonnell. The
new and improved 511 system empowers drivers with the knowledge they need to
avoid congestion and take a faster route to their destination.
The new system includes several features and enhancements, all
accessed via www.511virginia.org:
Mobile apps for Android and iPhone featuring real-time traffic cameras,
travel times, electronic message signs and traffic maps
New and improved 511 phone service with a better voice recognition system
Website showing incidents, construction zones, electronic message signs,
travel times and traffic cameras
The majority of traffic cameras stream video at 15 frames per second,
providing sharp and clear images
Reach the Beach information that shows the fastest routes to the Virginia
Beach Oceanfront and the Outer Banks Expressway
Another innovative component to this program is generating revenue
through sponsorships to help pay for the 511 service, said Transportation
Secretary Sean T. Connaughton. New 511 signs have space for sponsorships.
In return for the space, sponsors help offset costs for VDOT to provide
511. The long-term goal is to break even. Thats a significant win for
motorists and taxpayers.
VDOT Chief of System Operations Constance S. Sorrell added, For more
than a year, VDOT has been working diligently to enhance our 511 traffic
information system. These new enhancements are designed to improve the
overall 511 user experience. I encourage all motorists to take full
advantage of the new features and free, real-time traffic information 511
Virginia offers.
Since its inception in 2002, 511 Virginia has received more than 11
million calls and 8 million website visits. The 511 Virginia service
typically receives 200,000 calls each month. The system can be accessed by
calling 511 from any land line or cell phone in Virginia or visiting
www.511Virginia.org.

“The good news is that I’ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way,” he said in a letter to shareholders. “I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.

Liz Elting is co-founder and co-CEO of TransPerfect, the world’s largest privately held provider of language and business services.
The world’s population reached 7 billion in Oct. 2011, and according to an IDC report, one in every seven of those people owns a smart device. By now, we’ve all heard, “mobileis the future.” What the IDC report should tell us is that mobile is already here.
Emerging markets such as Brazil and China are particularly key, with companies scrambling to reach consumers in these spaces. As companies do this, they should be aware that a one-size-fits-all approach will be ineffective in establishing a presence.
What companies should do is create localized apps in order to increase specific customer bases. To do this you must have a strong localization strategy. Here are four things to consider when getting started.
Flexibility is key when approaching the testing stage on mobile apps. Test apps directly on the devices themselves to ensure their compatibility. In other cases, apps lend themselves more to testing on emulators, which mimic specific mobile environments on a desktop.
Have you ever encountered an app that wasn’t localized properly? How did it affect the user experience?
