Who you playing charade with?

Hint - Post #8.

Well congestion could be lowerd if not all trafic would arrive at the same time at the same place, if you rely on these systems when they advice you to go 60 instead off 70 because off traffic being better spread out that way it could in theory prevent some congestion. Would also mean more companies would have to start working with variable hours ect because congestion nowadays occurs because everyone starts and quits work around the same time.

Tax breaks. Any monetary incentive to companies for starting or ending at certain times would help with congestion.

Yes they would. But then here again you're contredicting yourself when you say gps will be the next big thing. You forgot to add the systems that will analyze the recieved gps data and will inform on possible chokepoints in the roadsystem and try to direct traffic ( by advicing certain speeds or alternate routes ) and you now also admit that for this system to really start being productive you would have to get other initiatives going to. And the problem with dictating start/end times is that certain companies which provide services to other companies can't work outside opening hours off those companies. Not saying that's the case everywhere, but a ict backoffice being open while the frontoffice has gone home for the day is not very efficient.

On a smaller scale such a system as gps coupled with analitical systems would increase productivity somewhat and surely decrease congestion but it's not the 'NEXT BIG THING' imho.

In that case, it's a good thing this isn't a test and there isn't a wrong or right answer.

I guess. You could try to convince me otherwise though, I might sway

But there you go there is another example of where we are lagging in the adaption of technology. What would effect congestion more than staggered starts, which is obviously a problem at least here in the UK where business want to work with each other during office hours or GPS redirections would simply be properly embracing home working. I know the US are some what ahead of the UK but there is so much room in jobs that involve computers/communication for most of the week to be spent in the home with no need to commute.

forgot to mention that..

But as I understand recent studies showed that working at home also decreased the efficiency off that particular worker. Most people work harder when their boss is watching them, it's just a fact. The worker might do the same work, but he'll take longer to do it, take more breaks ect. Said worker might feel better, less stress because he can make his own schedules but his productivity won't be increased. The time you loose on the commute is made up with the extra lunch breaks and maybe slower work pace.

Have to agree with that, been working from home the past month and seem to spend most of my time on here [rofl]
