Version 2.0 Waze real-time traffic data feed.
Waze maps provide information about specific routes to assist motorists in avoiding traffic jams. Waze maps and traffic are dynamically updated by a continually expanding network of drivers worldwide.
Waze provides information about traffic jams and events that affect road conditions, either from drivers using Waze, a.k.a. Wazers, or from external sources. Wazers may issue reports from the location at which they are currently located or, if no longer at the location, within 30 minutes after the event occurred. Waze is also able to provide automatic alerts for what they call Unusual Traffic (or Irregularities) - incidents that affect a large number of users and fall outside the normal traffic patterns for a given day and time.
Waze traffic data consists of the following information:
General information: time-stamp of the file, geographic area and latitude/longitude coordinates from which the data was retrieved, etc. that is converted to GIS layers for use in GIS maps, applications and analytics
- Traffic alerts: traffic incidents reported by users.
- Traffic jams: traffic slowdown information generated by the service based on a user’s location and speed.
- Unusual Traffic (Irregularities): alerts and traffic jams that affect an exceptionally large number of users. Waze automatically calculates traffic jams by comparing current road conditions with historical road data. When traffic on a segment is below average speed for that time of day/week, it as a slowdown or jam. This map contains traffic jams:
Waze Irregularities (Unusual Traffic) - reports that affect an exceptionally large number of users and fall outside the normal traffic patterns for a given day and time. These are traffic jams identified by the system as irregular by taking into account historical speed data.
Waze Jams - reports about traffic slowdown information generated by the service based on users location and speed that generate a congestion level Data provided by Waze App. Learn more about Waze for Cities at https://www.waze.com/wazeforcities/ More information about the data specs: https://support.google.com/waze/partners/answer/13458165?sjid=4069866456534535587-NA No third party use allowed without prior permission, coordination, and written consent from City of Virginia Beach Office of Emergency Management, IT/Center for GIS and Waze for Cities.
