More detail

Data subscribers get access to count data that has four times higher temporal resolution than our basic dataset, and an extended set of road user classes when looking at modal shares. This higher resolution also means a much reduced delay which enables professional users to follow live traffic data in much more real-time.

15 minute resolution

15 minute temporal resolution for all data products, including count data, typical trend data, and for all analytic, visualisation, and export tools and APIs.

Discover, track, and analyse traffic patterns and anomalies with greater clarity.
Ideal for studying short-lived events (school-street usage, congestions, accidents).
Live traffic with a much more real-time display (delay of only 15 minutes on device level, compared to a bit over an hour for non-subscriber users with only segment level data).

10 different modes

Traffic counts per direction of travel for 10 different road user classes (non-subscriber users are provided aggregated counts over the four main classes).
The differentiated classes are bicycles, buses, cars, light trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, strollers, tractors, trailers, and trucks.

Typical traffic data

Typical traffic is the foundation of many of the analytical tools and data products that we offer to our subscribers. As an example, typical data includes the typical (average) counts (and the most likely range) for the expected car traffic for a Monday morning between 08:00 and 08:15 based on the last 12 months' actual traffic - but you can choose a different mode, day of week, time of day, and baseline period as you wish. How does this work in practice?

We provide typical traffic volumes calculated as the average (and standard deviation) of historical traffic counts over the periods of a year, a season, and a month leading up to the date of the calculation (referred to as the epoch).
Each typical product is calculated at regular intervals to provide a continuously growing set of historical averages corresponding to various epochs. The data is made available on a quarterly and hourly resolution, for each mode, down to each day of the week (including a more general weekday and weekend option too).

More tools, better insights, and complete control

Benefit from the experience of the team behind Telraam. Get access to a range of advanced, purpose-made tools to explore and understand your data, facilitating and accelerating your research.

The Data subscription includes access to the Data dashboard, the Advanced APIs, the Street sheets, and other custom data export options.

Data dashboard

Segments

Monitor live or historical traffic (and the overall modal split) on a segment and compare it to the expected levels to identify atypical traffic.
For example: if the live traffic is outside of the interval that is defined by the average plus and minus three times the standard deviation of the histrorical traffic, that means that the observed traffic is unexpected compared to the average of the past month, season, or year, depending on the used typical data product. Is the anomaly short lived or long-term, is it caused by a special event, weather, or a change in the circulation plan? Go and explore!

Trends

Monitor the evolution of traffic trends over time. For example you can visualise the average Monday's car traffic over the past year, using seasonal (quarterly) averages that were calculated every two weeks, providing a rolling average traffic pattern over time. Looking at rolling averages helps to filter out short lived anomalies while bringing long-term changes into the spotlight. The 3D histogram is a very powerful visualisation tool, but if you just want to compare the traffic levels of a few selected epochs to eachoter, you can use our traditional interactive 2D plot for that. With the number of modes, weekdays, typical intervals, and calculation epochs available, the options are very broad.

15 minute data

Similar to the Segments tab, but here you can monitor data with a higher temporal resolution. Some effects are very short-lived, for example the morning rush near schools, or a temporary road block caused by an accident. Quarterly live data is also much more real time, as new datapoints are added every fifteen minutes, which is great for real-time applications.

Installations

A road segment may have more than one Telraam sensor installed. In this case the segment page shows the (smartly weighted) average metrics coming from the corresponding installations (also known as Telraam instances). As a Data subscriber you can consult the original data of each individual Telraam instance, which can be useful in many situations, including data validation, separating data coming from different sensor versions (e.g., Telraam V1 and S2 devices on the same segment), or simply to consult the data of your own device.

Street sheet

Our popular on-demand data product is also part of the data subscription. We provide a compact, in-depth Excel-format summary for a device or segment, including insights, calculations, and raw data for further review or analysis.
These reports give all users, experts and non-experts alike, a review of the data from a device or segment in order to help identify trends and anomalies. The sheet provides easy-to-digest information on modal splits, typical traffic patterns (for days and weeks), and also speed patterns.

Advanced APIs

Get access to exclusive, professional API end-points:

Integrate custom data connections into anything ranging from personalised dashboards to a full integration with Business Intelligence (BI) data systems.
Custom data rate limits to enable more regular data refreshing, or access to a selected set of segments and time periods.
Enhanced public endpoints with the 15 minute resolution and the 10 traffic modes (subject to Telraam S2 availability for the given segment) where possible.
Additional endpoints exclusively for data subscribers, such as 5 km/h resolution speed histograms and additional typical-traffic-derived data.
Potential for custom integrations and endpoints by agreement or collaboration with the Telraam Team.

Raw data export

Download raw count data (in spreadsheets or as CSV files) to carry out more custom analyses.

The data export tool allows organisations that do not have large data lakes or BI systems to export, repurpose and personalise reports from one or even multiple devices.
The data exports include charts, calculations, typical values, and raw data from the device.
Adapt the reports to include items of particular relevance to your street: modal shift patterns, speed changes before or after interventions, traffic volumes over time, and more.

Basic data - Free for personal use only

Open Data for all users and campaigners

All Telraam devices come with the following data summaries as standard:

Counts & direction of travel for 4 different grouped modes

Pedestrians
Two-wheelers (bikes and motorbikes)
Cars
Heavy vehicles (vans, trucks, buses and more)

Car speed data & charts
1 hour data interval reports
24 hour averages
Monthly insight & summary report for device users via email
Ability to compare your location data to other similar locations
Standard API access

The basic information from Telraam devices is standardised and open so that devices anywhere in the world can be used for local engagement by their hosts, their communities and their local authorities.

Navigate to any device on the Telraam map, and you will be able to see data for that street.

This same information is available to the device owner, who will also receive a monthly report via email, and will have the ability to export their data in a spreadsheet so they can do some further analysis. Additional data, insights, reports and exports are available via our paying data subscription.

What makes free different from a data subscription?

In both cases, the Telraam device hardware is the same.

When you purchase the device with a data subscription, we are including a subscription to full package that takes full advantage of the capabilities of the Telraam S2 device, and covers the cost of data communications, additional dashboards and reports. A personal device comes with at a minimum with the standard data and reports mentioned above but you are not paying for the data communications.

Who is the free option intended for?

While Telraam sets up networks of devices, both large and small, to gather useful traffic data for neighbourhoods or even cities, there is an important role for individual explorers and citizen scientists who can then raise local issues.

For this reason, Telraam uses revenue from our professional & data contracts to cover the costs of managing your device - for life! As a private citizen, you can still buy a single device and gather the data for as long as you like to use for your own projects.

Because of this subsidy and support, this is strictly for individual, private citizens. If you are an organisation involved in campaigning on, consulting for, or managing local transport and mobility projects, then please check out our ‘Network’ package.
