Introduction

When traffic lights are not timed properly, it leads to delays that can frustrate drivers, affect safety and increase congestion. TomTom Junction Analytics helps road authorities, traffic managers and engineers optimize traffic light performance with an easy-to-use API and companion web app.

TomTom gathers real-time Floating Car Data (FCD) from anonymous TomTom (connected) GPS devices, connected cars and GPS-equipped mobile phones. This data is combined with measurements from existing infrastructure. The trips are generated from completely anonymized data, ensuring a high level of security and privacy. This protects individual devices from being associated with specific drivers.

Junction Analytics is powered by real-time traffic data from over 600 million GPS devices - giving you a definitive view of what’s happening at any intersection.

Monitor and improve the performance of your traffic light network with up-to-the-minute insights from TomTom. Junction Analytics combines real-time traffic data with intuitive analytics tools to help you understand how drivers move through intersections - so you can allocate green time more effectively to cut congestion, reduce pollution and boost road safety.

The default usage limits for Junction Analytics allow for an unlimited number of junctions.
