Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can enter what time he wants to leave on a specific time and date, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road.
Ugur Demiryurek says they will launch the free ClearPath app for roads in Los Angeles in two months. In a year, he and Professor Shahabi hope to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.
"I thought always that L.A. had the worst traffic, but now I think, I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong definitely are examples that can immediately utilize this."
Professor Shahabi hopes to license this new technology to companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.导航软件“道路通”（ClearPath）使用了洛杉矶内两年半内9000个道路传感器中的有效交通数据，并收集了交通事故方面的信息。
沙哈比教授表示，他的系统不仅仅能应对当前的道路状况。有了道路通，司机只要输入出发的具体时间和日期，这个软件就能找出耗时最短的路线。这个软件能够在司机驶入某条道路之前，放眼整个道路网络，包括地面街道和高速公路。
乌古尔·德米乌莱克表示，他们将在两个月内发布覆盖洛杉矶道路的免费道路通软件。 一旦收集了其他城市的交通数据，他和沙哈比教授可望在一年内使道路通适用于全国和全世界。
“我曾认为洛杉矶的交通状况是最糟糕的。但我现在知道了——不管你相不相信——上海、北京、首尔、东京、新加坡和香港等城市也急需道路通这样的软件。”
沙哈比教授希望这项新的技术能够获得像谷歌和苹果这样已经拥有导航系统的公司的许可。
