Corridor Metrics gives local government continuous travel time monitoring across their road network — without commissioning a corridor study.
Purpose-built for local government.
Speed tables, signal retiming, lane changes — councils invest in these every year. But without continuous before-and-after travel time data, you’re relying on gut feel and the occasional consultant snapshot.
Platforms like StreetLight and INRIX are powerful — and priced for US state DOTs and metro planning organisations with dedicated data budgets. Local authorities need something that fits their scale and their team.
A traditional corridor study captures a single moment in time. What you actually need is continuous data: how does that corridor perform on a wet Tuesday morning compared to six months ago?
Track travel times, congestion patterns, and queue lengths across your network — every day, automatically.
Track suburb-to-centre and point-to-point routes simultaneously. Data collection schedules are tailored to your network — with higher frequency during peak periods — so you see exactly when and where congestion builds.
Compare travel times week-over-week, month-over-month, or before and after a road intervention. Identify corridors that are slowly worsening before they become a problem.
Automatically identify contiguous slow segments to measure how far back congestion extends — giving you the data to justify signal timing changes, lane reconfigurations, or targeted works.
Traffic data is recorded alongside weather conditions, so you can distinguish a genuine congestion trend from a wet-weather anomaly. Useful for separating signal from noise in your reporting.
See which routes are congested and when — at a glance. Colour-coded by travel time deviation from free-flow conditions.
Track travel time trends for any route and date range. Overlay corridors to compare performance side by side.
Summarise corridor performance in engineer-style narrative language — ready for council meetings, stakeholder updates, or long-term plan submissions.
Manage monitoring across different areas or projects independently. Scale coverage as your network grows.
“The kind of report that used to take a consultant two weeks now takes two clicks.”
Set a monitoring window before installation and compare directly after. The data is there, continuous, and unambiguous.
Pull an AI-generated PDF report for any route and date range. Narrative format, suitable for elected members who don’t read charts.
Historical trend data across your whole network lets you rank corridors by travel time deterioration — giving you evidence-based prioritisation, not anecdote.
The big traffic analytics platforms were designed for US state departments of transportation — agencies with teams of analysts and seven-figure data contracts. Corridor Metrics was built from the ground up for councils where the traffic team might be one or two engineers wearing multiple hats.
| Traditional Approach | Corridor Metrics | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Engage consultant, weeks of scoping | Configured and live within days |
| Cost per corridor study | Significant per-study cost | Included in subscription |
| Data freshness | Snapshot in time | Continuous, daily |
| Reporting | Weeks to produce | Minutes with AI reports |
| Ongoing monitoring | Not included | Always on |
Suburb routes (residential area to city centre, both directions) or corridor routes (point to point).
Travel times and distances are recorded throughout each day, refined with polygon-based speed resolution at fine granularity along each segment.
Heatmaps, time-series graphs, queue visualisations, and AI-generated narrative reports — available any time.
No roadside sensors. No installation. No maintenance.
The best way to understand what Corridor Metrics can do for your council is to see it running on your own routes. Book a short demo and we’ll walk you through live data — or set up a pilot on your network.
