How TomTom HD Traffic works

TomTom HD Traffic uses a revolutionary new source of traffic information: the traffic flow of up to 80 million anonymous mobile phone users on the road, 1 million connected TomTom devices. From this anonymous data, TomTom knows exactly where, in which direction and at what speed all these mobile phone users are travelling throughout the road network.

This real-time data is combined with other existing quality traffic information sources, resulting in the most complete and reliable traffic information.

How does HD Traffic benefit me

TomTom uses HD Traffic information to offer you the quickest way to your destination. This dynamic route guidance takes into account constant updates, to allow for any traffic jams that may occur while you are driving.

Next to this, complex traffic flow in city centres does not always make for reliable traffic messages. However, historical IQ Routes data is used in city centres to ensure you always get the best route.

Red lines show main roads and green lines show secondary roads.
