This is how PTV Flows works
PTV Flows allows traffic operators to effortlessly monitor and predict traffic in real-time. By leveraging machine learning, state-of-the-art algorithms, and automatic alerts, PTV Flows enables cities and road authorities to optimize their traffic management without the need for extensive resources or complex infrastructure.
Therefore, PTV Flows comes with a network map that is updated automatically and floating car data (FCD) from major data provider TomTom with extensive coverage. The software can be run from the browser or be integrated via API into existing systems.
To get the software up and running, traffic operators simply need to select the parts of the road network they want to monitor and set up alerts based on customizable KPIs. Now they can devote themselves to other tasks and wait for the first alert email to pop up, that might read like this: “In 30 minutes, the speed on Main Road will be under 20 km/h.”
