Flows Explorer

If the analysis was calculated properly and accepted on the user’s end, opening it from your “My Reports” list will load a results page.

Analysis results page.

TomTom O/D Analysis offers 5 different methods you can use to review the results. In this chapter we will focus on the last one - Flows Explorer.

5. Flows Explorer

Analysis results displayed on an interactive map of Flows Explorer.

This is an interactive report view that allows you to select more than one Origin, Via, and Destination contrary to the Map Flows.

Once you set your regions as origins, destinations, and vias, you will be able to view the relations between them in all possible ways.

To select multiple regions it is possible to use the region list on the left or hold the CTRL key and click on the regions on the map. Thanks to that you can see the start and the end regions, and multiple via regions where the trips travelled through and their trip percentage value.

An example combination of multiple region types in the Flows Explorer.

In case you would like to see the number of trips instead of the percentages, you can check “Absolute values” in the upper right corner.

Additional controls for the Flows Explorer result.

Results displayed in the form of Absolute values instead of percentages.

Just like Map Flows, this view also allows you to check the Flows per km² values in the upper right corner:

Distribution of trips shown in the form of flows per squared kilometers.

The date and the time ranges can be changed in the bottom left corner of the map.
