Are you using Google maps to claim kuna jam? Does Google map use sensors on the road to determine whether to mark a road segment as congested?

Google uses the information from your smartphone to determine whether there is gridlock. The proximity of those phones to each other and the speed with which thet are moving will indicate to Google whether there is gridlock.

It's a good way of doing it, but it is easily spoofed.

It also uses historical data especially where there is insufficient devices on a particular road. Congestion/slow traffic may also have other causes such as accidents, road works, etc. My point is that the OP cannot Google maps as evidence to back up his claim.

Smartphones have acceleration sensors. They use that.

No please. GPS location on the phone is enough. Additionally, the phone keeps connecting to nearby GSM receivers, therefore algorithms can estimate how fast a handset is moving between masts.

I think that accelerometers are limited to the device and objects and other gadgets very close to it. Example: as a game controller or measuring device to monitor sporting performance.

What does the iPhone accelerometer do?

Accelerometers measure the force of acceleration, allowing them to sense movement, speed and direction. Find out how the iPhone accelerometer works in this article.

So when the workers are streaming back to Kibera from Inda,on foot,how is this interpreted by the algorithms?
