FACTSHEET EMPIRICAL SPEED DATA Since 2007, over 5 trillion anonymous consumerdriven GPS based measurements have been collected from TomTom users around the world.

We offer you now access to this data that opens the door to completely new possibilities in traffic modeling and analysis. QUICK AND EASY AVAILABLE Areawide data about historic speeds and traffic conditions provides valuable information to traffic planners and decision makers. To obtain such data was, until now, difficult and based on costintensive surveys. With TomTom data, we are able to offer you this information now costefficient and ready to use in PTV Visum or PTV Vissim. NEW POSSIBILITIES The spectrum for applications is broad: at a Hot Spot frequent traffic holdups occur in the network. With historical speed data, such Hot Spots can be identified and mitigated by targeted traffic planning measures. The effectiveness of such a measure can be determined with a BeforeAfter Comparison based on empirical travelling time from TomTom. With its empirical information about traffic conditions the data provides an important input for Environmental Analyses and allows an accurate calculation of pollutant emissions using HBEFA in PTV Visum. .

In the TomTom web portal, you can create your own queries, export the result in different formats or import it directly into PTV Visum: Stats Custom Travel Times: Database query for customdefined routes Stats Custom Area Analysis: Areawide database query for customdefined regions Speed Profiles are generated from the same database. Speed time series are created by aggregating data for all day categories. We process this data for you and provide it ready to use in PTV Visum based on navigation networks from TomTom for every custom defined area.

FACTSHEET

EMPIRICAL SPEED DATA

 

 

 

 

Since 2007, over 5 trillion anonymous consumer‐driven GPS based 

measurements have been collected from TomTom users around the world. 

With this Floating Car Data TomTom has created one of the world's largest 

traffic databases with empirical speed data, covering more than 40 

countries. We offer you now access to this data that opens the door to 

completely new possibilities in traffic modeling and analysis.                  

   

   

   

 

QUICK AND EASY AVAILABLE

Area‐wide data about historic speeds and 

traffic conditions provides valuable 

information to traffic planners and decision 

makers. To obtain such data was, until now, 

difficult and based on cost‐intensive surveys. 

With TomTom data, we are able to offer you 

this information now cost‐efficient and ready 

to use in PTV Visum or PTV Vissim.  

NEW POSSIBILITIES

The spectrum for applications is broad: at a 

Hot Spot frequent traffic holdups occur in 

the network. With historical speed data, such 

Hot Spots can be identified and mitigated by 

targeted traffic planning measures.  

The effectiveness of such a measure can be 

determined with a Before‐After Comparison 

based on empirical travelling time from 

TomTom.  

With its empirical information about traffic 

conditions the data provides an important 

input for Environmental Analyses and 

allows an accurate calculation of pollutant 

emissions using HBEFA in PTV Visum.

OUR OFFER 

With Stats you obtain a direct access to TomTom’s traffic database. In the TomTom 

web portal, you can create your own queries, 

export the result in different formats or 

import it directly into PTV Visum: 

Stats ‐ Custom Travel Times:     

Database query for custom‐defined 

routes 

Stats ‐ Custom Area Analysis:             

Area‐wide database query for custom‐

defined regions 

Speed Profiles are generated from the same 

database. Speed time series are created by 

aggregating data for all day categories. We 

process this data for you and provide it ready 

to use in PTV Visum based on navigation 

networks from TomTom for every custom 

defined area.
