Australian traffic experts hope to uncover the patterns of movement of Sydney's roads following the launch of one of the world's most detailed visualisations of metropolitan traffic movement.
Intelematics Australia has spent months analysing more than 3.5 million speed and location traces to produce a picture of Sydney traffic.
The time-lapse animation shows traffic moving across the city over the course of a typical day. The incredibly detailed visualisation will be used to help motorists and the transport industry better understand how the city's traffic flows.
It is believed to be the first time such a detailed picture of an entire city's traffic movements have been captured for an extended period of time.
As well as route information of cars, the visualisation also shows information from traffic lights throughout the broader Sydney area, allowing for potential traffic bottlenecks to be quickly determined.
