Nowadays, when we decide to go out and in need of assistance for directions and traffic situations on the road we have decided to travel, we usually take the help of Google maps. If in case you decided to travel to a city and decide to take the highway, and the Google traffic alert system suggested that “Even though there is heavy traffic, you are on the fastest route to your destination”, how does the system know all these things? In short, it is a combined data of people actively using the service, the previous data of the route collected over the years, and also involves some own tricks which are acquired by the company to efficiently calculate the traffic. Most of the people who are currently using the Google maps service is indirectly providing their location, speed, and the routes they are going to take in which they are traveling, which helps Google collect data about the traffic, which will help the Google map algorithm predict the traffic and recommend the best routes for future users.
