Tokyo, Japan, 27 October 2017 Navigation technologies company, TomTom (TOM2), today announced the introduction of TomTom Traffic in Japan. This extends the service’s reach to 69 countries with a combined population of more than five billion people. TomTom Traffic covers secondary and surface roads, broad coverage, low latency and high GPS probe density.

The service offers up-to-date travel information such as traffic jams, and also uses self-generated incident messages for road closures, roadworks and accidents.

Ralf-Peter Schäfer, VP, TomTom Traffic, said: “Traffic congestion remains a major problem for many countries around the world – particularly in larger metropolitan areas such as in Japan. With rapid developments in Autonomous Driving and an increased focus on Smarter Cities, accurate and fresh traffic information is playing an increasingly important role.”

TomTom is increasingly providing Lane-Level Traffic, a feature that is critical to autonomous driving. Already able to detect traffic on different lanes at junctions, TomTom Traffic can now also differentiate between traffic flow on High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) lanes and regular lanes.

Already in 2017, TomTom Traffic has been introduced to an additional 16 countries, and the service is expected to be launched in several additional countries in the coming months. The continuous growth is supported by the supply of source data it receives from over 500 million data points*. This rapid growth demonstrates the scalability of the TomTom Traffic technology, as well as the ability of TomTom to support its Automotive and Business customers globally with high-quality maps and traffic services.

*TomTom Traffic is sourced by more than 500 million smartphones, cars and portable navigation devices providing GPS data points.

TomTom and ZENRIN Announce Strategic Mapping and Traffic Services Cooperation
Tokyo Motor Show, Japan, 27 October 2017 Navigation technology company, TomTom (TOM2), and Japanese mapping company, ZENRIN, today announced their intention to collaborate on traffic services and mapping in Japan.
The agreement pairs ZENRIN, the Japanese market leader in mapping and navigation, and TomTom, the pioneer of traffic services and high definition (HD) maps for autonomous driving, to deliver a powerful combination of services for the future of driving in Japan.

TomTom Traffic offers up-to-date information on road conditions such as traffic jams, roadworks and accidents. This information can be used by drivers to help them to find the most optimal route and avoid congestion, but also by cities and road authorities to monitor, analyse and influence the traffic.

ZENRIN produce Japan’s most detailed, accurate and richly attributed digital maps which can be used for navigation, geocoding, routing driver assistance, visualization and search, thereby allowing users to make smarter mobility decisions.

Antoine Saucier, Managing Director, TomTom Automotive, said: “Joining forces with ZENRIN demonstrates TomTom’s commitment to the Japanese market. We can now provide even more accurate Traffic information to OEMs and Tier 1s in the country. We look forward to working together to accelerate the future of driving in Japan.”

Hideyuki Fujisawa, Senior Executive Officer of ZENRIN, said: “With the collaboration, we will accelerate the development of services to deliver high-quality traffic information in real-time. Our goal is to contribute and to fulfil the needs of an IoT society, providing innovative new mobility services by creating a high-value-added map platform.”

With rapid developments in Autonomous Driving and an increased focus on Smarter Cities and Transportation, accurate and fresh traffic information is playing an increasingly important role. As a result, TomTom is working on making its traffic technology available in a greater number of countries, supported by the continuous growth in the supply of source data it receives from over 500 million data points*.

* TomTom Traffic is sourced by more than 500 million phone, cars and portable navigation devices providing GPS data points.

This cooperation will have no material financial impact on this year's financial results. We at TomTom are nonetheless excited to share the news about our cooperation with ZENRIN, which is in line with TomTom strategy and is beneficial to our long-term development.
