Urban traffic flow measurement and analysis

Traffic data is an essential part of data-driven development of urban environments.

Data supports urban planning and maintenance

The design of traffic systems and urban environments requires reliable data. In the future, data must be collected in increasingly comprehensive and diverse ways.

In planning projects, it’s essential to make full use of traffic data to gain understanding of current traffic patterns —whether on regular weekdays, weekends, during peak seasons, or at special events.

Real-time data enables traffic situational awareness

While historical data helps in understanding traffic system behavior and supports planning, real-time traffic data provides reliable situational awareness of the current traffic situation.

The importance of real-time situational awareness will grow in the future, as intelligent traffic control systems, digital twins of cities, and eventually automated traffic rely on real-time traffic data.

Urban development with visitor count measurement

Measuring visitor numbers at urban locations supports data-driven decision-making, helps target investments and maintenance, and identifies business market potential.

Common measurement sites include attractions, parks, churches, recreational areas, shopping districts, and sports or outdoor venues. These measurements provide accurate insights into their activity, aiding in the allocation of resources for maintenance and investment, as well as in impact assessment.

We are experts in mobility measurement

Whether you need to understand traffic flow behavior or create a real-time situational awareness of traffic, we provide the expertise to solve your measurement challenges.

We implement extensive, city- or nationwide continuous measurement systems, as well as short-term, local traffic studies, regardless of the technology or traffic mode being measured.

Nodeon Asgard solutions

COLLECT, STORE, ANALYSe, AND DISTRIBUTe tarffic data

Traffic information collected from multiple sources is often fragmented across various cloud solutions and files from different measurement device providers, making it hard to create a unified view of traffic. Centrally processed data provides a comprehensive overview to the transportation system. Modern requirements also call for open data sharing with other systems.

Nodeon Asgard products are designed to meet the needs of cities for collecting, storing, analyzing, and distributing traffic data. These ready-to-use solutions allow cities to take control of traffic data without the added costs of custom system development. Asgard also enables cities to comply with the ITS Directive’s real-time traffic data and distribution requirements via the National Access Point (NAP).

Nodeon Asgard Analysis – one platform for all traffic data

Nodeon Asgard Analysis offers a single traffic data management environment. It enables the integration of traffic data from multiple sources, directly from various manufacturers’ measurement devices or cloud systems.

With ready-to-use, versatile analyses, the data is instantly available and can be shared via open interfaces for use by other systems. The data is always owned by the customer.

Create a digital twin

Access real-time traffic situational awareness

The Asgard Analysis enables digital twins, where all moving entities are displayed in real time on a map with their trajectories. This feature requires data to be received from the measuring device.

Utilize legacy data

Digitize manual calculation data

Asgard Analysis enables the transfer of old manual calculation data into the system, where it is displayed digitally on a map. This makes it easy to review historical data and compare calculations made at different times.
