E232 - What is traffic prediction and how does it work?

How congested will our roads and highways get in 2022? Will we see more people recalled to the office and see the roads filling up? Are people comfortable with sitting on a train or bus with others? I read an article on the Tom Tom blog called, “What is traffic prediction and how does it work?” The link is just below. I wanted to know what traffic will be like in 2022 and how the change in commuting over the past two years will change the way traffic prediction algorithms work so I invited Jeroen Brouwer Manager of Customer Program Management for TomTom to be here on the show.
