Mapping and traffic data have become ‘big data’, as its scale and dynamic nature have grown over the course of the last few years.

PTV provides a solution to this challenge, aiming to support GIS specialists and transportation professionals by bringing these teams closer together.

"Using visualization, simulation and optimization tools of PTV, we close the gap between GIS and modelling teams providing users with a quick and efficient data aggregation and data processing engine", says Miller Crockart, Vice President Traffic Sales & Marketing at PTV Group.
