Lagos Traffic Radio, 96.1 FM, is set to unveil a new initiative, tagged: Live Camera Update Project (LCU) as part of its vision and determination to ensure accurate traffic information and travel advisories to millions of residents in Lagos.
The station’s General Manager, Tayo Akanle, in a statement, said Live Camera Update Project would boost traffic reportage and updates, including travel advisories by providing real time traffic information for the motoring public and commuters within and outside the state.
The initiative is in sync in keeping with current realities and dynamism of a society like ours of which the deployment of new technology and innovations are components that will not only make the station more relevant but also serve its purpose.
He said the latency of traffic updates for instance, delay in getting updates to commuters and motoring public, the ever-dynamic traffic situation around the metropolis and inaccurate description of traffic situation by traffic managers and other stakeholders were major challenges which the technology-based innovative solution would resolve.
The technology of live streaming has also been embraced in all the station’s programmes, thus giving its online audience a new experience as they can now view their favourite programmes and presenters through live video from the studio.
The general manager said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will be the special guest of honour at the official inauguration of the Live Camera Update Project scheduled to hold on today at the Radio House, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, while the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, is the chief host.
