[OSM-talk-be] Traffic jam historical Open data ?

[Ben Abelshausen]

Hi,

This is one of the big missing links in open-data when using OSM for
routing and traffic analysis, historical travel times. There was some data
released by BeMobile during the dynacity project a while back but that was
only for Ghent. I don't think we will see an open data source for this in
short term because it's not collected by the government, it's expensive to
collect, and it gives companies a competive advantage. There are some
companies that realized that pooling their resources is the only way to fix
this, that lead to this project:

http://opentraffic.io/

I think they will be starting to release something this year but I don't
know how much data what coverage they will have or if they will cover data
going back in time.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
