Many road users rely on navigation apps such as Google Maps, TomTom, Waze and Apple Maps on a daily basis to drive via the fastest and/or shortest route. When closures do not appear correctly in the systems of navigation providers, traffic may still be directed towards the work zone or follow a route that is no longer available.
With navigation influencing, Ramudden Smart Mobility ensures that closures are immediately visible in these navigation systems. Thus, digital and physical traffic measures optimally coordinated. Road users automatically receive the correct route advice and are diverted early, improving traffic flow and increasing safety around the project.

How does navigation influencing work?
Navigation influencing ensures that closures and temporary traffic situations are immediately visible in navigation apps. As a result, road users automatically receive the correct route advice during works or events. This approach consists of three steps:
1. Analysis of traffic measure
We analyse the project's planned traffic measures, such as road closures, diversions and temporary traffic situations. Based on this, we determine which routes need to be adapted in navigation systems.
2. Digital input of traffic conditions
The closures are digitally entered into navigation platforms such as Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps and TomTom. As a result, the current traffic situation is processed by the navigation providers
3. Adaptation of route recommendations
Navigation apps process this information and automatically adjust their route recommendations. Road users are thus immediately offered alternative routes. Not only when they get close to the works, but early on, from the start of their journey. This ensures even traffic distribution and less pressure on the diversions offered.
Benefits of navigation influencing
1
Road users get route recommendations on the current situation.
2
Reliable navigation reduces traffic creep and unexpected manoeuvres.
3
Timely and clear diversions reduce inconvenience and frustration for road users and the surrounding area.
4
Smart controls and up-to-date information ensure quieter traffic flows.
5
Residents. businesses and other stakeholders remain easily accessible at all times.
6
Less search traffic and detours around the work area also means fewer emissions.
