We are today beginning testing of our traffic service on 3rd mainland bridge. As this is one of the major traffic blackspots in Lagos we hope that its addition to our service will be of a real help to everyone.

So we're launching our new traffic service in Beta form on traffic.enownow.com. The first routes covered are VI, Ikoyi and Lekki.

Remember we're still in beta so the data won't always be perfect but we want your feedback.

We have 3 more routes to launch covering the bridges and the mainland so watch out.

We'll be soft launching and previewing our traffic alert system at the Lagos Business School's EDS Alumni Conference tomorrow.

So our testing has been going quite slowly, mainly due to harrassment from officials regarding our permits, papers etc. It turns out that to operate a bike you need to have a state permit and Local Government permits from each area you want to operate it in. Even if it is non commercial.

We'll keep you updated on our launch plans.

 

We will begin our formal testing of our traffic collection system tomorrow. The routes have been mapped and equipment has been purchased so it will be all go.

We are looking for a limited number of beta testers for the service, prior to it going fully live. If you are interested please comment on this post below

It's exciting times here at eNowNow HQ as we prepare to enter the first stage of testing of our Live Traffic System.

We're just finishing our final route plans and getting ready to put our traffic monitors out on the road in the next few days. We'll be using some pretty advanced technology including MMS, 3G, GPS and image analysis to measure the flow of traffic on Lagos' main routes and report it live to people via the web and via SMS.

So keep an eye out on www.eNowNow.com for more details as we head closer and closer to launch
