Short answer

How can I use my AI to track traffic incidents?

Your AI uses TomTom data to identify accidents and congestion in specific locations. It can then alert you to delays or help you plan around road issues. You'll see how the AI handles live road data below.

The outcomes.

Where the data goes.

The AI processes live road updates into these specific outcomes.

ALERTS

Instant incident notifications

The AI identifies new accidents or road closures. It flags these immediately so you aren't caught in a jam.

PLANNING

Route adjustments

Your agent looks at traffic flow to suggest better paths. It uses real-time congestion data to avoid delays.

REPORTS

Area summaries

The AI aggregates multiple incidents into a single view. You get a clear picture of road health in a specific zone.

HUMAN

Manual verification

The AI identifies the problem, but you decide if a route change is necessary. You remain in control of the final decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between live TomTom feeds and your specific questions.

  1. Locate incidents

    The AI scans a specific area to find active accidents or road hazards.

    get_traffic_incidents

  2. Check road speed

    It examines how fast traffic is actually moving through a specific segment.

    get_traffic_flow_segment

  3. Analyze congestion

    The agent compares current flow against normal patterns to spot unexpected delays.

    get_traffic_flow_segment

  4. Summarize status

    The AI compiles all nearby incidents into a readable update for you.
