TrafficView Project
The University of Maryland has an interesting concept for traffic monitoring and mapping – peer-to-peer traffic monitoring! The idea is that cars will be equpied with devices which can communicate with nearby cars to report traffic conditions and the like. It’s an interesting use of peer-to-peer technologies and potentially GIS.

Very interesting, however, the project’s page seems to indicate the project isn’t developed anymore: Last changed: December 12, 2003
In the Netherlands fairly similar project has taken place. The focus was not on peer to peer though.
The European Space Agency has a webpage (see link) and a bulletin about the project that can be found at: http://telecom.esa.int/telecom/media/document/Bulletin115roadtraffic.pdf
