Mobility data: footfall and traffic
Discover prime locations for your scheme with our footfall and traffic heatmap overlays, derived from comprehensive mobile phone data.
How it works
Nimbus's mobility heatmaps are derived from mobile phone pings to show you exactly how busy a location is.
- Head to the Mobility section of Location Analysis to find the average daily footfall and traffic map overlays.
- Average daily footfall and the traffic map are colour-coded so you can immediately visualise mobility volumes.
- Get a detailed view of daily traffic movements at specific points on every road in the UK.


Traffic heatmaps
Switch on the heatmap layer to get an instant view of the busy roads across any location in the UK.
Understand traffic
Analyse the make-up of traffic in any location using Department for Transport data and see how traffic volumes have changed over time.


Footfall heatmap
Effortlessly check if a property is in a prime location for pedestrians . With our smartphone-data derived footfall heatmap you can quickly identify the busiest parts of town and at which times of the day they get crowded.
Having the capability through the software for live properties to update every 24 hours, it allows us to be on the front foot and get opportunities straight out to our franchise owners, it's really added value in that respect.

Nimbus has allowed me to truly scale my property business - going from sourcing 3 sites a month using traditional methods to 600. And one of those I secured through Nimbus was 50% profit on GDV.

Nimbus is ultimately the one-stop shop for us. Being able to overlay our Land Registry titles over Google satellite imagery really helps us to bring it all into one place.
