Tool to help optimise road network performance

TomTom has launched Custom Area Analysis, a historical traffic product which gives customers access to highly granular speed and bottleneck information for road networks around the world. The product supports traffic modelling and analysis of road conditions and traffic performance. By providing a complete view of what is happening across the global road network, TomTom claims that Custom Area Analysis enables enterprises and governments to better understand and more efficiently manage their local areas.
