Behind every work of the Tech giant Google, there is lots of things which makes it live. How simple Google Maps look, in real it isn’t that simple, according to a former engineer of Google.
There are thousands of Algorithms and Data Structures involved just to tell you different ways from source to destination. And further to make it more efficient like where you will be in 15 minutes, more and more analysis is required. How the Company calculates crowdsourced traffic data and its more efficient than 2009 is also the big thing company revealed.
“When we combine your speed with the speed of other phones on the road, across thousands of phones moving around a city at any given time, we can get a pretty good picture of live traffic conditions,” wrote Dave Barth, product manager for Google Maps.
