Real-time Information is a service that allows us to keep up to date with information as it happens, being usefully available all over the world. This form of information is submitted almost instantly after an event has happened, therefore being available to people wishing to know the content as quick as possible. This is most commonly found when gathering details on the weather, travel updates, and the news.
Examples: Booking a journey
By using a website, you can find out about easiest form of transport, and how long it will take. It also gives you direct instructions of how to get there and what lines are and aren't running for that specific week/day. It also supplies maps, to make it more clear to you. It also clearly outlines when you are taking the underground and when to start
walking.
When planning a journey, a useful website is http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/. This enables you to plan your route, so you can add a via to your journey and avoid motorways or tolls if you want to. It gives a detailed outline of where to go with step by step instructions.
It also comes with actual written data telling you how much cloud, temperature, wind, speed, rain and type of weather is forecast for the week ahead.
The varying devices that this information can be displayed on has increased dramatically, ranging from websites and sat-navs, to interactive timetables and mobile phones.
