Prototypes
Traffic Lite
This prototype displays the latest road travel news on mobile phones using Flash Lite as the client. Flash Lite is the mobile profile for the Macromedia Flash Player. The travel RSS feeds are loaded into the phone via a GPRS connection.
As I'm using the RSS feeds and not the Tpeg feeds, you only get a title, description and the severity of the report. In the future I'd like to look into using the Tpeg feeds to display more information back to the user.
I'd also like to add a "Report an Incident" section that replicates this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/report/
The application could post data back to the BBC via HTTP or email. This could also be done with SMS as Flash Lite can send a message via the mobile phones existing SMS functionality.
