The breadth of this data pipeline allows us to offer more detailed traffic coverage, on more streets than existing datasets. Every month, more than 500 million monthly active users touch our maps, via 45,000 different Android and iOS applications built with Mapbox - generating more than 300 million miles of aggregated, anonymized and privacy-filtered driving data every day. They key to Mapbox Traffic Data is our wide adoption and data availability.
The power of the crowd: A massive, distributed global user base We produce updates at a 5-minute granularity for 2.3 billion roads segments around the world. Mapbox Traffic Data leverages the power of global crowds at a scale available to only a handful of companies on the planet, paired with advanced data processing and machine learning algorithms to offer accurate live and typical traffic profiles. Importantly, Mapbox’s offering, and associated pricing, is simple, transparent, and scalable.” - Brent Iadarola, VP, Frost & SullivanĪggregated, anonymized and privacy-filtered telemetry data collected in San Francisco. Mapbox Data Service’s strategic move to sell live traffic data is unique to the industry and will be particularly well suited for urban planning, route planning at scale, and other use cases that require the analysis of raw traffic data or the simulation of billions of potential routes. Additionally, the ability to process over 300 million miles of road data per day is unprecedented. “With approximately fifty thousand apps currently using Mapbox tools, the wave of adoption has been considerable. From automakers, to large-scale logistics, fleets operations, or urban planning use cases - improve your intelligence with the highest quality commercially-available traffic data via the Public Beta of Mapbox Traffic Data. Our Traffic Data is now compatible with other proprietary data sets Mapbox Traffic Data uses OpenLR encoding for maps like HERE or TomTom. Only a handful of companies around the world have access to this volume of data, and no one has made it commercially available. Our Traffic Data provides real-time and predictive traffic patterns drawn from a globally distributed user-base of more than 500M MAUs. The key to providing accurate traffic data with broad geographic road coverage is to get data from as many people moving on the road as possible. We are now offering stand-alone Traffic Data for use outside of our Navigation APIs - for companies and governments that require the most comprehensive and accurate traffic data to use in customized routing engines, direct analysis, or congestion analysis.
