1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more server devices, information related to traffic congestion on a road at a particular geographic location;
analyzing, by the one or more server devices, the information to identify an occurrence of congestion at the particular geographic location;
requesting, based on identifying the occurrence of congestion and by the one or more server devices, additional information regarding the occurrence of congestion from a first user device that is within a particular distance from the particular geographic location;
receiving, by the one or more server devices, the additional information from the first user device,where the additional information, received from the first user device, includes content provided or captured via user input at the first user device,where the content includes at least one of;
a picture associated with the occurrence of congestion,a video associated with the occurrence of congestion, oraudio associated with the occurrence of congestion;
receiving, by the one or more server devices and from a second user device, a request for congestion information associated with the particular geographic location; and
providing, by the one or more server devices and to the second user device, at least a portion of the additional information received from the first user device.
