In a Joint international research, scientists developed a method to collect information regarding transportation problems using the tweets made by citizens on Twitter. "The ability of social networks to produce information on heavy traffic, road hazards, availability of public transportation and more is a valuable tool for decision makers," said Dr. Tsvi Kuflik, the Head of the Information Systems Department at the University of Haifa and one of the researchers in this study.
