The challenge

Road networks are the arteries of our cities, but they also present significant challenges. Every year, road crashes cause over a million preventable deaths and 50 million injuries. Traffic congestion wastes countless hours and contributes significantly to urban emissions. To address these issues, cities need detailed, accurate, and timely data on what's happening on their roads. Traditional data collection methods are often slow, expensive, and don't provide a complete picture of the dynamic nature of traffic.

How Roads Management Insights helps cities

Roads Management Insights offers a scalable and efficient solution for road authorities to overcome these challenges. By leveraging Google's comprehensive, global road data, the platform provides actionable and up-to-date insights into traffic patterns and real-time slowdowns. Roads Management Insights is an enterprise solution that allows for flexible integration into existing traffic analytics solutions or the development of new ones. Users can define specific routes for data collection using the Roads Selection API and receive continuous updates on key metrics like travel duration. Roads Management Insights supports road authorities with:

Planning & investment

Build predictive models to forecast future traffic conditions, understand long-term traffic patterns, and identify problem areas to guide infrastructure improvements and traffic management strategies. This allows cities to make smarter, data-driven investment decisions.

Real-time traffic monitoring

Detect unexpected events like accidents or sudden congestion, gain immediate awareness of traffic conditions, and enable a rapid response to incidents. This helps to minimize disruptions and improve driver safety.

Impact on users and cities

Roads Management Insights is designed for public sector teams, transportation agencies, and their trusted private partners who are responsible for managing and planning road networks. It empowers traffic engineers, urban planners, and data analysts to move from reactive to proactive traffic management. By providing the tools to analyze historical trends and monitor real-time conditions, the platform enables cities to design safer roads, reduce congestion, and work towards a more sustainable transportation future. The ability to integrate this data into their own analytics platforms provides the flexibility to create custom solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Instead of relying on costly and fragmented CCTV cameras, we can now deliver high-frequency, citywide insights that help authorities reduce congestion and plan more effectively — all at a fraction of the cost.
