Why use PTV OptiFlow for enhanced route accuracy?

Traditional route optimization products often rely on average travel times, which do not account for traffic fluctuations throughout the day. PTV OptiFlow, however, integrates traffic patterns, enabling more precise travel time estimates. This means that your drivers’ routes are optimized to avoid peak congestion, reducing delays and ensuring timely deliveries.

Key features

  • Historical Traffic Integration 
    PTV OptiFlow uses traffic patterns generated from historical traffic data from millions of road users to plan the most robust routes.
  • Advanced Algorithms 
    The powerful algorithms handle large datasets and ensure that travel times are accurately calculated for different times of the day and days of the week.
