The SANEF radio broadcasts on the frequency 107.7 Mhz and gives information to clients related to traffic and weather conditions or to any event disrupting traffic flow. However, there is no permanent presence of speakers during the night shift. In order to be able to give traffic information when no “human” speaker is at the studio, SANEF implemented a program that extracts traffic and event information through software and system known as SYLVIA and is broadcast using ELIOTT, a virtual speaker. Therefore, traffic information may still be disseminated on a real time basis in correspondence to changing traffic conditions.
