CAPABILITIES

What the Traffic Maps API delivers

Real-time traffic flow visualization

Display current traffic conditions as color-coded overlays on any map — free flow, slow, queuing, and stationary. Updated continuously from GPS probes, sensors, and connected vehicle data across the road network.

Incident detection & display

Surface road incidents in real time — accidents, road closures, construction zones, and hazards. Each incident includes location, severity, description, and estimated duration. Used in driver apps and dispatcher dashboards to avoid delays.

Speed camera & event awareness

Includes speed camera locations and traffic events from multiple verified sources. Helps fleet operators and driver-facing apps reduce compliance risk and optimize route decisions based on real conditions.

Predictive ETA & congestion awareness

Historical traffic patterns combined with real-time conditions produce accurate ETA predictions — not just current speed estimates. Useful for pre-trip planning, shift scheduling, and SLA-based delivery commitments.

Multiple map layer support

Traffic data available as separate, composable layers — flow layer, incident layer, camera layer, and congestion overlay. Each layer can be toggled independently in your map UI for maximum flexibility.

Scalable & reliable with enterprise SLA

Built for high-volume production use — traffic tile requests scale with your user base. Enterprise SLA included, backed by HERE infrastructure and Placematic's Gold Partner agreement.
