Empowering cities to manage their traffic flows.

TomTom integrates advanced traffic monitoring and analysis tools to provide city planners and traffic authorities with invaluable insights

Predictive analytics, congestion management, and smart signal control mechanisms work together to alleviate traffic bottlenecks, ensuring smooth vehicular flow and reducing environmental impact.

This is the reason why StreetLight uses TomTom Traffic data to power its analytics platform.

TLDR; ??

Just check this cURL command:

curl 'https://api.tomtom.com/traffic/services/5/incidentDetails?key={Your_Api_Key}\
&bbox=4.8854,52.36934,4.89788,52.37496\
&language=en-GB\
&timeValidityFilter=present'

We are fetching the traffic incidents details from a region - specified here as a bounding box

{4.8854,52.36934,4.89788,52.37496}

For this example, you could get a response that details incidents - in this case a line of coordinates for a traffic jam -

Or perhaps you need to analyse certain areas of the city for different purposes:

Geomarketing projects - store locations, retail attractions, focused location advertisements, and billboard locations.
Tourism studies - access to information to help you understand popular points of interest and seasonal distribution.
Urban planning - analyze the most used routes, and studies of flow or tourism dynamics between popular points of interest.
Smart city programs - contributing as an input for Mobility studies.

With any of the previous use cases, the Origin/Destination Traffic analysis (O/D Analysis) will help you measure what is happening on the road.
