Four days a yr and 21 % less CO2 emissions . That ’s what a GPS withreal - time traffic informationwill give to you , and the entire major planet . At least , that ’s what maps maker Navteq say . As you may expect , there ’s a match .
The study — conducted in Dusseldorf and Munich , in Germany — had three groups : One with GPS withoutreal - time traffic , another with GPS units with material - clock time dealings information , and a third one — the control group — without any GPS .
The results were vindicated , accord to them : Drivers with genuine time - dealings information will spend 18 % less metre go to seat . That ’s four days a year , which — if you involve me — is quite a lot . The study also found that these drives traveled shorter aloofness and times , which decrease yearly CO2 emissions an average of .79 metric tons . This resulted in 21 % less carbon dioxide .
So what ’s the catch : Those per centum are compare to drivers “ without piloting . ” Their press release fail to provide information on GPS without real - time traffic data systems . extremely suspicious , if you postulate me . [ Autoblog ]
