1. Traffic Data Accuracy Testing™
"Trust, but verify"- Russian Proverb
Traffic Data and You
Competing providers of traffic related data claim to
have the “best” data. You, the customer, have the
difficult task of:
● Determining decisive factors when choosing a data
provider
● Verifying that the data provided in fact is
applicable for the intended use case
● Validating data is accurate
Using our proprietary tools, Hermes TDAT delivers
extensive and detailed insights as to the value and
applicability of any source of traffic data.
