Summary/Abstract: In this article we highlight the current possibilities to understand traffic flow. There are many ways, among which we have chosen the use of TomTom and ArcGIS, to correlate the time of the week with the queuing queue length in the adjacent areas at the entrance and exit of the A3 highway, respectively, at the intersection with Petricani Street and Fabrica de Glucoza Street. Methods such as junction analysis, route monitoring and drive time areas were used. Using these methods it is possible to analyze other critical areas in Bucharest, and in the article we also considered the intersection of Lacul Tei Boulevard – Petricani Street – Doamna Ghica Street. Such methods can also be useful to analyze the area that emergency services can serve in a given timeframe. A secondary objective was to investigate the ModelBuilder Beta capabilities in 2025.
