Tomtom users are using GPS maps for navigation purposes across the globe. These maps not only help them in situations when they don’t have the roadmaps to travel their destinations. GPS not only offers them congestion alerts through navigation systems but also ensures a smooth and safe journey to them. It is precisely observed that they are interested more in reaching their destinations on time, rather than knowing about the parameter (traffic index) responsible for attaining such timely places.

                   Let’s discuss what the traffic index is, its role in the features acquired by the Tomtom one XL Update and the characteristics of traffic index.

What is Traffic Index?

Traffic Index is defined as the combined index of the time taken by the vehicle in commuting back and forth from the starting point to the destination, plus the inefficiencies of the overall traffic system. These inefficiencies have characteristics that include the following: -

• Dissatisfaction faced by the vehicle due to excessive time consumption in traffic congestion.

• Carbon dioxide consumption by the vehicle while stuck in traffic congestion.

Real-time Impact of traffic index on congestion levels

Whenever users try to update Tomtom one XL GPS map, their device gets updated with various street views and destination addresses of local areas. This update offers a strong pictorial representation to the display screen as the navigation system is able to generate congestion alerts at times users get stuck at heavy traffic. Given below are features of traffic index:-

• Efficient speed corrections to the navigation system, which help drivers, take shorter roads leading to destinations quickly.

• Allows free-flow traveling to vehicles, which helps them not getting impacted by the consequences of congestion.

• Ranks the cities based on their congestion level and calculate the statistics so that user can selectively choose to travel them, based on the population size and density.

Tomtom maps are able to calculate the congestion levels in 403 cities across 56 countries on 6 continents. The organization is able to control these congestion levels for the last seven years and in the eight-year; the traffic index parameter of Tomtom one XL update is able to filter the countries’ ranking with more historical insights.

                   If concluded shortly, users should search for traffic index parameters when they choose to update Tomtom One XL GPS map and give their contribution towards the ongoing mission of creating a safer, smoother and congestion-free world with their partners across the globe.
