Business Model
TrafikJungle is a service provided to the drivers that live in the main cities of Mexico (Mexico city and Monterrey city) and their metropolitan areas that helps them to avoid traffic jams and arrive earlier to their destination.
The service consists on a road monitoring system that senses the flow of vehicles on the main streets of the city. This information is translated into a status for that specific section of the road which is then reported to the drivers through out several means of communication. The system has the functionality to calculate the estimated time of arrival from one point to another where the service is provided.
The status of the traffic can be consulted through out the following technologies:
– Directly on our website
– Via SMS message
– Or directly to your GPS enabled device (Garmin / TomTom)

Additional information
• According to the Mexican Institute of Transport & Development, the number of automobiles in Mexico City increased over 40% in the last 5 years, while roads have increased by less than 16%. Building new roads to keep up with this demand is both impossibly expensive and often impractical in metropolitan areas.
• Giving drivers real-time traffic conditions enables taking alternative routes or changing departure times to avoid traffic, benefiting both the individual driver as well as helping reduce overall traffic congestion in the community.
