Here Technologies has launched a new generation of its Here Real-Time Traffic service, which integrates live vehicle sensor data from 2125 Audi, 1731 BMW and 1685 Mercedes-Benz vehicles with traffic probe information, resulting in higher accuracy and more precise information about traffic conditions.


Here Real-Time Traffic, available to all current and future customers from any industry and covering more than 60 countries, offers improvements in traffic flow data, especially on arterial roads. For more than 30 of those countries, the service also provides incident information with features such as Traffic Safety Warning.

Here Real-Time Traffic provides information about traffic conditions to drivers and can also be used by vehicle ADAS applications. The service is also widely used by ride-hailing companies, cities, road transport agencies, logistics companies, and air quality analytics specialists. To further enhance the service, Here is concurrently expanding the population of commercial vehicles from which it gathers conventional probe data.
