What is Highway Radar?
Highway Radar is an application that helps drivers stay informed about potential road hazards, speed traps, and traffic enforcement. It aggregates real-time, crowd-sourced data from multiple sources to provide alerts and warnings to users
Highlights
- Crowd-sourced Alerts: The app connects to a server that aggregates crowd-reported information on speed traps, road hazards, and other traffic-related incidents. It then provides audible and visual alerts to warn drivers about these conditions
- Aircraft Traffic Monitoring: In certain countries, the app can detect and alert drivers to the presence of aircraft that may be conducting traffic enforcement operations. It does this by collecting data from ADS-B exchange sites and matching aircraft registrations
- Historical Data Analysis: The app analyzes historical data on past police and speed trap reports to estimate the risk of enforcement in a given area. It displays this information through a heat map feature
- Speed and Red-Light Camera Warnings: The app can detect and warn drivers when approaching fixed speed and red-light cameras, currently available in the USA and Canada
- Traffic and Weather Information: In addition to the safety-focused features, the app also provides information on nearby traffic conditions and weather conditions.
