Map Flows

Kamil Nowacki -

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 first one - Map Flows.

1. Map Flows

Map Flows section with an interactive map and regions defined by the user.

This is an interactive report view that allows you to preview many different scenarios.

There are two ways you can mark given region either as origin or destination:

  • using menu on the left side (ADD ORIGIN/ADD DESTINATION);
Origin/Destination selector panel of the Map Flows section.
  • by clicking on given region and then selecting option;
Popup origin/destination selector that unfolds after selecting a region on the map.

The example on the screenshot below shows the result for one region selected as Origin (highlighted in grey). All other regions, in this case, became Destination and the outcome shows the distribution of trips in:

  • percentage ratio - shown on the map;
  • flows ratio - which is shown on the left side;
Map Flows results with only one region marked as “Origin”.

These results contain additional information when you check Flows/km2 option in the upper right corner. This option takes into consideration the size of the regions and compares it to the number of all the trips.

Map Flows results with Flows/km2 option enabled.

Another example of viewing the Map Flow results is to:

· select one region as Origin (highlighted in grey);

· select the other one as Destination (highlighted in grey);

All the other regions with the data available will be treated as Via automatically, showing how many vehicles traveled through them on their journey from Origin to the Destination.

NOTE! There is a possibility to make a screenshot of the analysis available in the upper right corner.
