TomTom Junction Analytics available on Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure customers can now access TomTom Junction Analytics through the Marketplace. The mapping and geolocation specialist TomTom reports this on the occasion of the Smart City Expo taking place in Barcelona. The tool is part of a comprehensive product family for traffic analysis, which uses historical and real-time traffic data based on anonymized speed data from more than 600 million connected devices worldwide. The result is intended to be detailed, high-quality data provided through intuitive tools, enabling road authorities, highway agencies, and traffic management centers to develop smarter mobility solutions.

"Data on road traffic and their analysis are becoming increasingly important for smart city planning. Thanks to real-time analysis of traffic nodes and intersections, cities and traffic managers can optimize traffic light systems in real-time, thereby reducing congestion and emissions," explained Ralf-Peter Schäfer, Vice President Traffic & Travel Information at TomTom.
