Real-time reports
One of the most prominent features of the app COYOTE is its system of shared alerts (over 12 million pieces of information exchanged per month) which are characterized by their reliability, as they are sent and verified in real time by members of the community (over 5 million users).
The reports are displayed within a radius of 30 km, remain active for three hours and can be of various types: mobile speed cameras, accidents, slowdowns, traffic, narrowings o obstacles on the roadway, reduced visibility, uneven bottom o slippery road, for example.
These signals with 30Km in advance, allow the user to drive more attentively when the unexpected approaches, so as to have a safer driving behavior and not be unprepared in the event of sudden situations. The alerts are shown on the map in real time and are reported, in turn, by users who can confirm or cancel them, through the appropriate screen that is displayed during navigation.
In addition, the COYOTE service, in addition to sharing reports in real time, contains in its database all the control stations such as fixed speed cameras, traffic light cameras, tutor sections and ZTL areas.
