Product description

TomTom O/D Analysis provides trip analysis based on a high volume of location data. 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. TomTom also archives this data to create a historical traffic database. This is the main data source for TomTom O/D Analysis.
