I bet there's gonna be traffic...

It comes as little surprise that Triangle software of Campbell, CA was able to create software that can model traffic and produce "traffic forecasts" for up to 7 days in advance. In many cities, I'm sure a sophisticated model is hardly necessary -- harried commuters could willy nilly predict traffic clinchpoints quite easily. (Consider the LIE as it bends to meet the VanWyck/Grand Central.) Nevertheless, a New Scientist article informs us, "Alongside the weather forecast, viewers of KXTV News 10 in Sacramento can now get 3D animations of their local road network, showing not only where the gridlock is but also where it is likely to be." Interesting concept!
