Live webinar · Africa · With Google

Africa's cities are outgrowing their roads. Fix the jams that cost the most, first.

Motorization has outpaced the roads built to carry it, and traffic management in most cities is limited.1 Live with Google Maps Platform: how the road data Google already holds shows a city which junctions cost it the most time, why each one fails, and whether a fix worked. No new hardware needed to start.

Built for how Africa's cities grow

  1. 01

    Motorization is outpacing the road network

    Spend where it moves the most traffic

    Every road scored by the time it actually loses, so the list starts with the junction costing the city most, not the one with the loudest complaints.

  2. 02

    Traffic management is limited

    No sensor rollout to wait for

    Roads Management Insights is Google's road data, with near real-time traffic in over 200 countries and territories, delivered through BigQuery into the city's own Google Cloud project. No new hardware needed to start.

  3. 03

    Every fix has to justify its budget

    Measure every fix

    Speed before and after, on the same roads, so a signal retime or a junction redesign is defended with numbers instead of impressions.

  4. 04

    Partners need something finished to sell

    A product, not a data feed

    Resell it, deliver it inside a wider programme, or bring us into a bid. What your client opens on day one is a working application.
