As header - please follow the following link to bid:

BTW, I think I must of made a mistake when I set the reserve price - the
highest bid will be accepted regardless of whether the auction states that
the reserve price is met or not.

Product Info:

TrafficMate - Live Traffic Information From 24hr Sensor Network

The Trafficmate unit is very compact (around 6" x 3") and can be attached to
your dashboard using the pads provided.  It is powered by 4 AA batteries
(supplied).  A digitised voice 'speaks' traffic information as you are
driving.  A typical message will be: "You are near M1 junction 14, M1
southbound, slow traffic for 4 miles between junctions 11 and 12 expect ten
minutes delay.  Northbound traffic flowing freely"

** How Does it Work? **

Information on traffic flow is gathered from a network of over 2400
infra-red, bridge mounted sensors, which monitor the speed of traffic
passing below.  When the speed drops below 30mph, the system alerts the
National Traffic Data Centre in Milton Keynes via a radio signal.

The information is instantly sent out to over 1,500 local transmitter
stations throughout the country's motorway network.

Each transmitter station has a unique ID code and is capable of 'filtering'
all motorway traffic information relevant to that particular site (to within
a range of 10 miles or a minimum of 2 motorway junctions ahead of the
vehicles position) and translates it into coded messages.  These messages
are transmitted to the Trafficmate unit via a local radio signal.  The
Trafficmate unit converts these coded messages into audio which is then
broadcast to the user using verbal messages.


Brand New & Boxed.
Includes 12 Months Connection  (�24 per annum thereafter) & 4 AA batteries.
