Area Analytics Tools

Analyze traffic patterns across custom geographical areas over specific time periods. Define a region using a GeoJSON Polygon, choose your date range (up to 31 days), and query congestion levels, speeds, and travel times.

Documentation: Area Analytics API
Uses TOMTOM_MOVE_PORTAL_KEY

tomtom-area-analytics-stats

Retrieve area analytics statistics for a GeoJSON Polygon region within a 31-day period.

-- Daily congestion trend
2
SELECT time::DATE as day, ROUND(AVG(congestion_level), 2) as avg_congestion
3
FROM timed_data
4
WHERE aggregation_type = 'daily'
5
GROUP BY day
6
ORDER BY day
7

8
-- Top congestion hotspots
9
SELECT lat, lon, congestion_level
10
FROM tiled_data
11
WHERE congestion_level > 70
12
ORDER BY congestion_level DESC
13
LIMIT 20
14

15
-- Compare hourly patterns across the week
16
SELECT date_part('dow', time::TIMESTAMP) as day_of_week,
17
       date_part('hour', time::TIMESTAMP) as hour,
18
       ROUND(AVG(congestion_level), 1) as avg_congestion
19
FROM timed_data
