National Traffic Model™

Congestion is a problem in America's 437 urban areas and is getting worse. We cannot build enough roads to significantly reduce the $78 billion annual loss due to traffic delay. Consequently, there is great interest in managing commercial and personal travel using predictive and real-time traffic information to intelligently route, optimize departure or avoid incidents to improve mobility. To address these issues, Mygistics is building the world's largest transportation model, developing traffic flows for the entire US main roadway network. This model has a broad range of applications: from providing traffic data for urban and regional transportation models to improve the utilisation of existing and planned infrastructure; assessing environmental impacts (e.g. emission surveys or noise mapping); dynamic route guidance and calculation or realistic travel times; scenario testing of traffic management strategies; business intelligence to aid in the location of commercial properties or outdoor advertising placement. As such our model may be used wherever questions about traffic flows, traffic distribution, volumes, or traffic frequencies arise.
