# GraphHopper Open Traffic Collection



Collections of URLs pointing to traffic information portals which contain open data or at least data which is free to use



## Australia



 * [Victoria](http://api.vicroads.vic.gov.au/)



## Canada



* [British Columbia](http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/trafficData/)



## Europe



* [Austria](https://contentportal.asfinag.at/data): Various data sets in Datex-II format. Requires registration; some packages are free of charge, others only for a fee. There is also [an open rss feed](https://publiccontent.asfinag.at/rss/feed/de/trafficmessages). See [#25](https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection/issues/25).

* Belgium:

  * [Brussels Region](http://opendatastore.brussels/en/dataset/traffic-count): real-time traffic counting

  * [Roadworks](http://www.verkeerscentrum.be/uitwisseling/datex2full) in Datex-II format. Relies on Alert-C for location decoding; ignore the `alertCLocationTableNumber` indicated in the Datex-II stream and use the default table for Belgium.

* [Catalonia](http://www.gencat.cat/transit/opendata/incidenciesGML.xml): traffic events, custom XML format.

* [Czechia](http://registr.dopravniinfo.cz/en/): Feeds for common traffic information, restrictions and weather. Available in both Datex-II and a custom format called DDR XML. Requires registration (free of charge) and running a server, to which the service will then push updates as they occur.

* [Estonia](https://tarktee.mnt.ee/#/en/datex): road safety, traffic restrictions and real time traffic flow in Datex-II format. Location referencing seems to rely mainly on distance markers (on which data on OSM is scarce); WGS84 is used for single-point locations only; Alert-C is not used. Requires registration, free of charge.

* Finland:

  * [Digitraffic](https://www.digitraffic.fi/en/road-traffic/) has several data sets, some in a custom JSON format, others in Datex-II level C

  * Roadworks in [Datex-II](https://aineistot.vayla.fi/roadworks/roadworks_d2.xml) and [InfoXML](https://aineistot.vayla.fi/roadworks/roadworks_infoxml.xml) format. The Datex-II set relies on Alert-C for location referencing.

  * [Weight restrictions](https://aineistot.vayla.fi/painorajoitukset/painorajoitukset_d2.xml) in Datex-II, relies on Alert-C for location referencing.

* France

  * [Entire DE BASt](https://www.bast.de/BASt_2017/DE/Verkehrstechnik/Fachthemen/v2-verkehrszaehlung/Daten/2017_1/Jawe2017.html?nn=1819490) traffic count only

  * [German Mobilithek](https://mobilithek.info/) which [replaces the MDM platform and mCLOUD](https://www.mdm-portal.de/migration/).

  * [Entire DE](https://autobahn.api.bund.dev/) - inofficial API to get construction and traffic information on motorways

* Italy:

  * [Bolzano](http://traffic.bz.it/) documentation [here](http://ipchannels.integreen-life.bz.it/doc/), repo [here](https://github.com/tis-innovation-park/BZtraffic). See [#1](https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection/pull/1)

  * South Tyrol: [traffic reports](https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/#/datasets/p_bz-webservices-southtyrolean-trafficreport-currentsituation), [mountain pass conditions and closures](https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/#/datasets/p_bz-webservices-southtyrolean-trafficreport-mountainroadsandpasses), [roadworks and closures](https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/#/datasets/p_bz-webservices-southtyrolean-trafficreport-works-closings). They also advertise [reports from neighboring regions](https://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/#/datasets/p_bz-webservices-southtyrolean-trafficreport-outofprovince) but the feed seems to be empty. Available custom GML, JSON or CSV formats.

  * [Turin, Italy](http://opendata.5t.torino.it/get_fdt) documentation [here](http://www.5t.torino.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/flussi_traffico_rt.pdf). See [#13](https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection/issues/13)

 * Lithuania:

   * [traffic count](http://lakd.lrv.lt/lt/atviri-duomenys)

   * [restrictions](http://restrictions.eismoinfo.lt/): Roadworks, road closures and restrictions, incidents; JSON-based format similar to Waze CIFS. More information at http://eismoinfo.lt > Open data/Atviri duomenys.

   * [intensity](https://old.eismoinfo.lt/traffic-intensity-service): Real-time traffic flow data. More information at http://eismoinfo.lt > Open data/Atviri duomenys (note that the URL has changed since). Note that coordinates for road segments are in LKS94 (EPSG:3346).

* [Luxembourg](http://www.cita.lu/info_trafic/datex/situationrecord): Traffic events in Datex-II format. Relies on Alert-C for location referencing.

* [Netherlands](http://83.247.110.3/ndwOpenAVG/Default.aspx) via the NDW. FTP-Server for data and measurements is ftp://83.247.110.3/ , see [#2](https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection/issues/2). Feeds are also available at http://opendata.ndw.nu/. Specifically:

  * `brugopeningen` has time tables for movable bridges, indicating when they are opened (i.e. raised) and thus impassable for road traffic

  * `gebeurtenisinfo`: traffic messages, e.g. traffic jams, wrong-way drivers, closures, detours and weather conditions

  * `incidents`: Breakdowns and accidents

  * `srti` has safety-related traffic information

  * `wegwerkzaamheden`: roadworks and event-related traffic measures

  * There are also various measured data publications, indicating traffic flow, speed, travel times and queues. The Datex-II situation reports rely heavily on Alert-C for location encoding. However, they do not use the regular Alert-C location code list for the Netherlands, but the [VILD](https://docs.ndw.nu/en/sb/algemeen/specialisatie/VILD.html), which has incompatible lcoation codes. It can be downloaded from https://www.ndw.nu/documenten/nl/#cat_2. A semi-automatic process to convert the VILD to a Location Table Exchange Format, as understood by Alert-C toolchains, is described [here](https://gitlab.com/traffxml/vild2ltef).

* [Norway](https://www.vegvesen.no/om+statens+vegvesen/om+organisasjonen/apne-data/Datex/publikasjoner): Various data sets in Datex-II format, requires registration. Relies on Alert-C for location referencing, the LCL can be downloaded from the site.

* Poland:

  * [Traffic events](https://www.gddkia.gov.pl/dane/zima_html/utrdane.xml) in a custom XML format. Georeferencing is based on distance markers along the road; the WGS84 coordinate pair which accompanies the message is only suitable for display and can be significantly off. [traff-gddkia](https://gitlab.com/traffxml/traff-gddkia) is an attempt at a FOSS Java library which parses the data.

  * The [NAP](https://kpd.gddkia.gov.pl/) has Datex-II traffic data; registration is required to get access.

* [Slovenia](https://www.promet.si/portal/en/etd.aspx): various data sets in Datex-II format, requires registration.

* Spain

  * [Madrid](https://datos.madrid.es/portal/site/egob/menuitem.c05c1f754a33a9fbe4b2e4b284f1a5a0/?vgnextoid=33cb30c367e78410VgnVCM1000000b205a0aRCRD&vgnextchannel=374512b9ace9f310VgnVCM100000171f5a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default): Historical and real-time traffic data at city of Madrid's Open data portal

* Sweden:

  * [Various data sets in Datex-II](https://www.trafikverket.se/tjanster/Oppna_data/oppna-data-vi-erbjuder/), registration required

* [Switzerland](https://www.astra.admin.ch/astra/de/home/dokumentation/daten-informationsprodukte/verkehrsdaten.html) traffic count only

* UK:

  * [England](https://www.trafficengland.com/services-info): various Datex-II data sets, registration required.

  * [Scotland](https://trafficscotland.org/datex/): various Datex-II data sets, registration required.

  * [Entire UK](http://www.dft.gov.uk/traffic-counts/) traffic count only

  * [Traffic flow data](https://data.gov.uk/dataset/dft-eng-srn-routes-journey-times)



## Europe Misc



* traffic data set of several cities https://github.com/ambuehll/UTD19/ under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

* Many EU data sets are available at the [European Data Portal](http://www.europeandataportal.eu/data/en/group/transport?q=traffic)

* EU authorities rely heavily on the Datex-II format for data exchange. Many of these data sets use Alert-C for location referencing and require a location code list (LCL) for location lookup.

* In most cases the LCL can be obtained free of charge (at least for the countries which rely on Alert-C in their Datex-II feeds) and can be incorporated in applications, devices and information services, but some impose restrictions on redistribution of the raw tables. The [OSM Wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMC#Available_datasets) has a list of sources where LCLs can be obtained.

* A FOSS Java library for location decoding is available here: [traff-libalertclocation](https://gitlab.com/traffxml/traff-libalertclocation) Decoding an Alert-C location requires the country code, location table number (LTN) and location code.

* Some sources supply an incorrect LTN; ignore the `alertCLocationTableNumber` elements in the data and use the correct one instead. (The only exception being the Netherlands, see above.)

* UNECE Traffic Census (updated every 5 years), showing AADT for segments of E-Roads within the UNECE region [UNECE traffic census 2020](https://unece.org/transport/transport-statistics/traffic-census-2020)
