Live Traffic Maps - Informieren Sie sich über die aktuelle Verkehrslage (2024)

Of course, you will also get the best traffic reports and live traffic maps in the MapTrip GPS Navigation. We also use the traffic reports from TomTom and Here here. These manufacturers offer the most up-to-date and complete data on the market. In addition, we also take into account statistical traffic data for the route calculation, insofar as this is available for the route sections.

We calculate in a unique way the traffic jam avoidance. Therefore, with MapTrip GPS Navigation you are always on the fastest route and always get the best live traffic maps in your GPS.

Did you know that our MapTrip Navigation has already received the "Best Traffic App" award several times for its congestion avoidance?

We process the best available traffic reports in a very efficient way to guide you safely on the fastest route:

• Best real-time traffic reports: MapTrip uses not only the actual congestion information (3km congestion between X and Y), but real-time traffic data for ALL available road segments.

• This is the average speeds currently being driven (similar to Google Maps, with MapTrip truck average speeds).

• This allows to calculate the best (= fastest) routes for the respective traffic reports, avoid traffic jams and give a much more accurate arrival time.

• The routes are constantly checked in order to be able to react to a changed traffic situation.

• The driver is informed accordingly in each case should a faster route be available.

• Not only traffic jams on affected sections are taken into account, but also current speeds on all roads.
• Calculation of the fastest route.
• Continuous update in the background (anonymized).
• The driver receives a notification if there is a better route due to changing traffic reports.
• This means that the current fastest route is always available.
• Best live traffic maps in your GPS
• ETA calculation with MapTrip is more accurate.

The recording of traffic reports in live traffic maps has evolved considerably in recent decades. In the early days, purely editorial traffic reports from the police or ADAC were read out on the radio. Later, induction loops, sensors on bridges and transmission as a data stream to navigation were added. A turning point was the transition to the crowd-sourced Big Data approach, in which the largest possible amount of raw data from smartphones and cars is used to create a previously unheard-of detailed picture of the traffic situation. For navigation software, this meant a big change.

Traffic messages today are no longer local trouble spots. In the past, these could be received directly by navigation devices and taken into account in route calculation. Today, the traffic situation for navigation is instead presented as a multi-dimensional universe of information, consisting of current, statistical and forecast data. This is increasingly supplemented by information such as speed limits, weather or road conditions.

However, this flood of information cannot be meaningfully processed on mobile devices. Neither the transmission nor the computing capacities of smartphones or navigation devices would be sufficient for this.

We therefore opted for a server-centric architecture for MapTrip. The MapTrip backend continuously receives the latest traffic reports and can thus calculate optimal routes.

The navigation software in the vehicle simply makes route requests to the servers and receives the optimal route back, fully calculated.

This concept also offers the advantage that the server can inform the navigation about faster route options at any time.

Any questions regarding the data consumption? Please send us a message.

As long as there is a mobile data connection, the routes are calculated online on MapTrip servers. This enables the inclusion of the extensive traffic reports.

The latest map data is always available on the servers.

This also reduces the need for frequent and sometimes costly map updates on the devices. There is always compatibility between locally installed data and the data on the servers.

• If there is no mobile data connection, the routes are calculated using the map data installed on the devices - but then without traffic reports.The road data stored locally on the mobile device in advance therefore also allows navigation offline as a fallback.
