Waze is a subsidiary of Google and a global community-driven navigation platform that provides real-time traffic information and route optimization through a crowdsourced business model. Founded in 2008, the service leverages data from over 130 million monthly active users who contribute real-time reports on traffic, accidents, and road hazards to ensure the most efficient travel times. The platform's revenue model is primarily centered on hyperlocal, location-based advertising, allowing businesses to connect with drivers through branded pins and sponsored search results while they are in motion. Beyond its consumer application, Waze partners with municipal governments and transport departments to share traffic data for urban planning and congestion management.
