Unlocking the Potential of Your Business with Masterplan Mediafire
A clear vision and master plan are important when embarking on a journey to revitalize your downtown or community. It is important to be clear about where you want to go. It is equally important to understand where you are and where you want to be, to make the most of a place’s physical assets, to energize people and unite them with a common focus.
Developing a vision and plan for a place can work at any level: a building, a street, a plaza, a large lot, the center of a city, or for a larger settlement. It is also important to realize that sometimes it is good to have blurred boundaries, as places do not end at the city limits but are related to other places, be it manpower, transportation, employment, and other factors that may have an impact.
Privacy rules at TomTom
For Nick Cohn, Senior Business Developer of Traffic at TomTom, the anonymization of user data is something that is treated with great care, not only because of the law but also because it is an area that TomTom carefully guards. “Individual measurements never leave our facility, they’re always processed, aggregated, and anonymized, so there’s not even a connection to a device,” says Cohn. “This is due to legal requirements, but also due to our own desire to ensure this protection, as we rely on anonymous reads from our clients.” (GPS) as the two richest and most efficient sources for traffic monitoring. “GPS provides more accurate location and speed information than GSM data, and the iPhone is tied to GPS information as well,” Cohn explains.
