99 smartphones are transported in a handcart to generate virtual traffic jam in Google Maps. Through this activity, it is possible to turn a green street red which has an impact in the physical world by navigating cars on another route! #googlemapshacks http://www.simonweckert.com/googlemapshacks.html …pic.twitter.com/6KcMm1XgAF
It's pretty hard to get 99 people on a single bus. 50-60, perhaps. Google's map algos also have the ability to detect pedestrians in transit-rich areas, and link those individuals to moving transit vehicles. The guy with the wagon wasn't tethered to a transit vehicle.
an average german public bus has space for a bit more than 100 passengers, about 1/3 sitting and 2/3 standing. it's amazing how any people can fit in a bus or a train, compared to the space cars would need for the same amount of people.
What speed is the bus doing. Is it possible that the map knows for some value of know, where bus stops are and that these people just got on the bus. As for one hotspot and 99 clients, that's a bus. :-)
What is fun is reading the map for multi lane traffic.
The article suggests they would have to navigating, or at least have Maps open. I guess that's pretty rare on a bus.
It only happens if all the people on the bus are using google maps to navigate.
does it actually need google maps open, or does haveing GPS enabled on your phone simply suffice? i'd always assumed it was the latter (with no explicit reason to come to that conclusion)
Wahrscheinlich zu schnell für einen "Stau" aber wenn 100 Leute bei zb. einer Demo alle Google Maps mit Routenplanerfunktion aufmachen würden müsste das klappen ;)
What are the odds that 99 phones will actively use google maps on the same bus and the bus goes slow enough that the algorithm classifies it as a traffic jam; also what about phone location? It has to be spread out on the street imo...
