PTV Flows is a cloud-based real-time traffic management software that lets operators monitor current conditions and predict short-term congestion. It comes with an automatically updated road network and integrated floating-car data, runs in the browser, and can push predictive email alerts so teams can act before queues form. AI supported forecasts extend up to 60 minutes and include KPI monitoring plus historical “replay” for after-action reviews.
Key use cases include:
1. Motorways & regional networks: monitor KPIs, get predictive queue alerts, and reroute when thresholds are breached.
2. Urban/TMC operations: comprehensive network overview with automatic, predictive alerts; notify stakeholders or trigger third-party actions (e.g., VMS).
3. Before/after studies: quickly activate a corridor/area, collect KPIs, and compare effects of signal timing changes or interventions.
4. Data & integration scenarios: integrate PTV Flows via REST API (real-time + historical + short-term forecasts) to enrich existing traffic systems or new mobility products; integrates alongside other ITS components.
5. Roadworks & construction: track real-time and forecasted impacts around work zones; assess performance with historical KPIs.
6. Major events & hubs (airports, stadiums, fairs): monitor reachability and anticipate surges to keep access routes moving.
