NUNAV Navigation. Better together.

Traditional navigation primarily looks for the currently fastest route for one vehicle. When many drivers receive the same recommendation, congestion can simply move elsewhere. Collaborative Routing coordinates individual routes across the whole road network instead. The goal is not only a good route for you, but better traffic flow for everyone. In the joint ADAC field test, the NUNAV group arrived almost four minutes earlier on average and spent less time standing still.

Google Maps also considers traffic data and recalculates routes when needed. NUNAV’s distinct approach is explicit coordination between routes: vehicles are not independently sent along the same supposedly fastest road, but distributed proactively across different suitable roads. We cannot assess another provider’s internal algorithms; the ADAC traffic experiment therefore compared both systems under the same real-world conditions.

Every active journey with NUNAV becomes part of the coordinated swarm. The number changes continuously and is therefore not published as one fixed participant count. To calculate a good route, NUNAV also combines participating journeys with live traffic conditions and traffic predictions. The more vehicles travel in a coordinated way, the greater the shared effect on traffic flow can become.

Sometimes the suggested route is slightly longer in distance, yet still faster or more relaxed because you spend less time in stop-and-go traffic. NUNAV does not distribute vehicles arbitrarily; it finds a suitable individual route based on current and expected traffic. If you choose another road, the app recalculates your route.
