in Minnesota here we have xml Traffic data updated every 30 seconds.. along with accidents reports, and all the sensors have lat/lng cords. They measure over all speed, density, and who knows what else..

I did some searching and found a few other places that do this..
anyone have any ideas for an app that could interpit this data (the site has detailed specs on the data and everything, nice to see our tax dollars at work)
I ws thinking a fash app that had a vecor map of major roads (4/6 lane) and then have animations of density and colors based on average speed (green = very fast, red = stop and go)
basicly much like simcity :-)
I have an idea about the app, and I can figure out how to pull the data.. I just don't know enough about xml and parsing it and all ..
