The new SmartWay app from the 7043 Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) p will help drivers navigate Tennessee highways, providing up-to-the-minute customised traffic information.
The home screen for the TDOT SmartWay App is a map, which will locate the user’s current position. Users will see icons on the left hand side of the map for traffic speeds, incidents, cameras, road construction, road conditions, and dynamic message signs. Map views can be customised by simply clicking on those icons.
The bottom of the screen shows the app’s other features:
Near Me, which allows users to see traffic incidents, construction, and road conditions near their current location.
Notifications, enabling users to set up customised alerts about traffic incidents, construction, and road conditions. Alerts can be set up either by start and end point, or by choosing the county and route. Users can select the time frame to receive notifications, and create multiple notifications.
Favorites – users can select a camera, and click “Add to Favorites.” Once selected favorites have been added, users will have the ability to scroll through to see real-time images of their route.
“We are excited to be able to provide this tool for motorists, especially on the eve of one of the busiest travel days of the year,” said TDOT commissioner John Schroer. “The features we’re providing can help travelers avoid congestion and have a safer drive to their holiday destinations.”
Developed by TDOT’s portal vendor, NIC, the SmartWay app is free and available for download in the493 Apple App Store and Play Store for 1812 Android.
