Daten
The API makes Floating Car Data (FCD) available and provides information about the current traffic situation. On road segment level, the current average speed, a current traffic status or the travel duration can be queried. In addition, TomTom provides results from AI models to forecast traffic patterns. The data is suitable for online applications or for traffic analyses.
Particularly when traffic is gridlocked or congested, major environmental impacts occur. FCD can contribute to intelligent traffic management. For example, the information can be used to warn drivers of traffic congestion at an early stage and suggest an alternative route. If the data is also networked with the municipal traffic signal systems, traffic can also be controlled in real time, in line with the current situation. In addition, the data can be used to evaluate measures aimed at reducing motorized individual traffic, thus contributing to evidence-based urban planning.
The data is mainly based on navigation applications of the end users. Areas where no navigation devices are used can therefore not be served. This often concerns small streets in residential areas. Also, the data quality may vary in time (day vs. night, weekdays vs. weekends).
Navigation applications in smartphones and automobiles.
No individual traces are available. The data is aggregated, processed and the results are transferred to a road segment. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the driving behavior of individual persons.
