Mapping and location technology specialist TomTom has entered a new global partnership with Aecom with a view to delivering enhanced global infrastructure planning and road traffic management solutions.

Leveraging TomTom’s historic and real-time traffic measures, global infrastructure firm Aecom seeks to enhance its mobility and infrastructure planning, transport modelling, and traffic systems management and operations.

Origin destination analysis

Through the partnership, Aecom can integrate TomTom’s traffic statistics, origin destination analysis, historic traffic volumes, route monitoring, live traffic, and junction analytics products, into research, projects, operational teams and managed client solutions.

The intention is to enable Aecom’s global teams to deliver more accurate, data‑driven insights that help improve mobility, enhance safety, and optimise infrastructure investments.

“This collaboration will enable us to deliver innovative solutions that address the evolving demands of transportation and urban development”

With urbanisation, changing travel patterns, advancing vehicle technologies, and the policy imperatives of sustainable development, better planning, modelling, and effective delivery of infrastructure are essential. Aecom reports that it supports both the public and private sector in analysing these shifts, their impacts, and how they can respond effectively to prepare for a new era of transportation.

TomTom claims its high-quality traffic measures enable governments and private-sector partners around the world to make more informed transport decisions. This collaboration gives Aecom access to highly precise mobility insights, supporting safer roads, optimised networks, and more resilient infrastructure planning.

“By accessing TomTom’s industry-leading traffic data, we aim to improve our services in mobility and infrastructure planning, traffic management and congestion reduction, accessibility and mobility service assessments, and post-project evaluation and transport policy research. This collaboration will enable us to deliver innovative solutions that address the evolving demands of transportation and urban development.”

In traffic management and operational environments, TomTom Live Traffic provides low-latency, spatially and temporally accurate live observed speed data and road traffic incident detection to traffic management centres, road network managers, and emergency services.

“By combining Aecom’s world-class infrastructure and mobility planning and delivery expertise with TomTom’s location intelligence, this partnership empowers decision-makers to plan, design, and deliver smarter mobility”

This can help national, state, and local road agencies respond more effectively to network disruptions, accidents, and congestion. The partnership will enable embedded Aecom traffic management teams to deliver better outcomes for their clients, as well as safer and more efficient road networks.

“By combining Aecom’s world-class infrastructure and mobility planning and delivery expertise with TomTom’s location intelligence, this partnership empowers decision-makers to plan, design, and deliver smarter mobility,” said Ralf-Peter Schäfer, vice president for traffic and travel information, TomTom.

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality data that supports innovative approaches to tackling the challenges of urban mobility and infrastructure development.”
