Adding Routes & Areas

Route

Route Analysis calculates statistics for a defined route between its start point and a destination, optionally with via points.

Click “Add new route” to start drawing or “Add from template” if you previously saved one:

Add New Route

Follow these steps to add a route:

1. Provide a name

2. Select the "start" and the "finish" points.

You can select these points on the map, or type them into the START & FINISH fields.

IMPORTANT! If you would like to add a "via" point, first you must select your "start" and "finish" points. You can also use "via" points to adjust your route geometry to it's proper location.

Maximum Route Length: 200 kilometers

3. Select the vehicle type: All, Passenger or Fleet

  • Passenger: GPS location data from non-professional regular drivers.
  • Fleet: GPS location data from professional fleet vehicles, including trucks of different sizes and weights, urban delivery vehicles, and leasing passenger cars. No vehicle type distinction is made within the “Fleet” data category.

4. Select the map version.

  • Using different map versions is only advised in advanced use cases when you know about previous road geometry changes (before construction works and after it) and you want to perform a detailed analysis of how much data has changed because of that road event. Otherwise, it's always advised to use the map version recommended by the tool.

5. To finish adding a route to your analysis - click “Add to report”.

Maximum Number of Routes: 20

Area - Full

Click “Add new area” to start drawing a polygon or “Add from template” if you previously saved one:

Follow these steps to add an area:

'Create New Area' Window

1. Provide a name.

2. Click “Draw polygon” or "Upload GeoJSON"
· Drawing a Polygon : define an area by placing dots on the map and right-clicking to complete the polygon
· Upload GeoJSON : upload a GeoJSON file from your device. It is possible to upload the GeoJSON file with multiple polygons (Take note that the polygons in a multi polygon may not overlap, and may only touch at single points).

The maximum area size is 20,000 km2.

3. Define which FRCs (Functional Road Classes) to include in the query.  
FRC is a hierarchical designation of the entire road network, ranging from Highways (FRC 0) to local city roads (FRC 7).

You will notice when selecting and deselecting FRC's, a grey line will appear on that road class when selected and disappear when deselected.

Please see the table below with the explanation of each FRC:

4. Select the vehicle type.

  • Passenger: GPS location data from non-professional regular drivers.
  • Fleet: GPS location data from professional fleet vehicles, including trucks of different sizes and weights, urban delivery vehicles, and leasing passenger cars. No vehicle type distinction is made within the “Fleet” data category.

5. Select the map version.

6. Click “Add to report”.

Area - Traffic Density

The main difference between the Full Area Analysis and Traffic Density Analysis is that instead of the full report information (speed, travel time, and other average values) you will receive only the vehicle number observed for every segment.
