HERE, a location cloud company, has introduced three new cloud-based information services  that provide pre-departure traffic information, personalised fuel and parking recommendations to drivers.

The three services are HERE Departure Alert, HERE Personal Fuel Recommendations, and HERE Personal Parking Recommendations.

These new services join the suite of HERE Automotive Services that deliver advanced content to drivers through connected embedded navigation systems.

"The HERE services proactively display personalised suggestions to the driver at the right location and moment in time."

The company claimed that the new services have been designed to make driving easier at every phase.

HERE product manager Mark Foligno said: “Rather than requiring the driver to check traffic conditions on a common route, or manually select one fuel station or an off-street parking facility out of many, the HERE services proactively display personalised suggestions to the driver at the right location and moment in time.”

HERE Departure Alert displays traffic conditions on common routes a driver takes. This service studies travel patterns based on destinations, routes, time and location and then combines the information with HERE Real-Time Traffic to help drives make decisions at the start of a trip.

HERE Personal Fuel Recommendations learns the fuel preferences of a driver and then accordingly offers timely recommendations based on three aspects, the driver's comfort zone on how far they travel on one tank of gas before refueling, the driver's preferred fuel brand and sensitivity to fuel pricing, and the distance and time required for the driver to get to a preferred fuel stop.

HERE Personal Parking Recommendations offers off-street parking facility recommendations when the vehicle is within 1km of the destination, or around the driver's location when a destination is not entered.
