Traffic Analytics Speed Data includes three years of historical probe data and is available in 57 countries. No modeling is applied – the data (standard deviation, min/max, etc.) is strictly a record of observations of vehicle and truck speeds for each calendar year, documented in five-minute epochs (365 days x 24 hours/day x 12 months/year).
