A system and method of identifying and quantifying congestion within a traffic stream including obtaining telemetric data from a plurality of vehicles traveling within a plurality of normalized road segments, determining a property of each normalized road segment based on the telemetric data and a road profile for each road segment, determining a disruption score indicative of a level of disruption in a traffic flow within each road segment, mapping the road segments within a two-dimensional spatial-temporal grid of cells, wherein each cell represents a normalized road segment at a specified time, for each cell, determining if the traffic flow is congested, identifying a congested traffic stream including a plurality of contiguous cells that have congested traffic flow, quantifying the congested traffic stream, and providing an output signal.
