Just recently, a new smartphone traffic app that was tested by multiple citizens in Dublin, Ireland allows users to give feedback on traffic incidents, enabling traffic management centres to respond much quicker when collisions and many other incidents happen around the city. The 'CrowdAlert" app, which is currently available for download, is one of the many key components utilised in the EU-funded INSIGHT project and a very good example of how smartphones and also social networks can be harnessed to improve public services a lot more as well as safety. The INSIGHT project was officially completed at the end of August 2015, and the consortium has made real traffic data publicly available in order to promote much further research interest in this field.
