You're undoubtedly heard that old quote about advanced technology and magic. I think that the technology described on this page qualifies.
Its name is Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS); what it provides is a real-time display of traffic conditions within the DC area. According to the article, "(t)he information is presented in both 2D and 3D fully zoomable formats, similar to Google Earth with a broad array of overlays applied. It will monitor vehicles, planes, incident reports (traffic accidents, etc.), traffic light problems, areas of slow traffic, weather conditions, and more." All in one place. Real-time. Here's a sample display.
Now, that's magical.
