Traffic.com Jam Cast features Jam Factor, a proprietary graphical and numerical measurement to convey current driving conditions.

Traffic.com has introduced Jam Cast, a system designed for real-time content delivery over any digital medium of fully automated audio and video traffic reports.

Jam Cast is a continuous, digitally managed and automatically updating traffic content system that adds to Traffic.com's Web, radio, television and wireless solutions.

Jam Cast features dynamic, up-to-the-minute traffic reports and Jam Factor indicators. Jam Factor, a proprietary graphical and numerical measurement, is a simple yet comprehensive means to convey current traffic conditions, including drive times, delays, incidents, average speed and slowest speed along routes, as well as indication of worsening or improving congestion trends, for each route.

Jam Cast is available now for digital tier broadcast television and will be available later this year for all other platforms.
