Mapping and location technology provider 7643 Here is to provide traffic software specialists VIA with historical and current traffic data that will enable VIA to enhance the quality of services it provides to government customers.

Under a commercial agreement between the two companies, Netherlands-based VIA will utilise Here’s Traffic Analytics, a service that helps enterprises and government customers make informed decisions about future traffic flow management. Traffic Analytics offers access to a vast quantity of historical and current road traffic data.

Here offers its full Traffic Analytics suite across 13 countries, including the Netherlands, and has compiled a database of more than one trillion GPS data points that support the in-depth analysis of road behaviour and traffic dynamics.

"The Traffic Analytics suite provides a comprehensive understanding of both historic and current vehicle speeds across any given roadway. Incorporating this valuable data into VIA's leading traffic safety management software provides governmental bodies a powerful new tool as they execute and measure the impact of road safety programs," said Tony Belkin, director of traffic and dynamic content at Here.
