“With TomTom, we’re getting a massive increase in connected vehicle data that helps us provide traffic managers with a crystal clear picture of what is happening on any given roadway, at any given time,” said Jatish Patel, Founder and CEO of Flow Labs. “TomTom’s data enables us to generate unparalleled data accuracy and reliability, empowering powerful applications like traffic signal optimization and regional safety monitoring, including identifying high speed corridors and crash hot spots with improved incident detection.

Flow Labs’ Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions do not require expensive infrastructure or roadway modifications to generate highly detailed simulations. The solution uses credible, high-sampling sources of connected car data, which TomTom provides. Utilizing TomTom’s data, Flow Labs can estimate what is really happening on the road quickly and at an affordable cost. While the impact of the collaboration will be immediate, it will serve as a launchpad for greater innovation in the future.

“We expect the long-term benefits for both organizations and the customers we serve globally to be profound,” said Patel. “We intend to jointly develop new products, services and applications that will better service the growing needs of transportation agencies and other traffic providers across the United States and beyond.”
