For more than 15 years, the TomTom Traffic Index has monitored the health of our roads, capturing its minute-by-minute pulse to assemble a year-long overview of how vehicles have moved through hundreds of our world’s major cities.

The Traffic Index confirms that keeping traffic moving has never been more difficult. How can we keep tackling such a challenge? With data, lots of data.

Congestion escalates as mobility becomes most urgent, freight delays spread across supply chains and emergency vehicles struggle to reach people who need help most.
