Segment information

Besides the route information, Route Monitoring also delivers detailed traffic data on a segment level. The segment information is given in a pop-up on the map and in the interactive chart, where your selected segment will be highlighted in dark green.

Map view with selected route segment highlighted in dark green and popup displaying segment details including current speed absolute and relative, typical speed, confidence level, and segment length
  • Current speed (Absolute): The real-time average speed for the specific segment.
  • Current speed (Relative): The real-time average speed in comparison to TomTom's free-flow speed.
  • Typical speed: The typical speed at a given time based on TomTom Speed Profiles data (calculated per each five-minute time bin). We do not provide any fallback if it is not available.
  • Confidence: The confidence level (volume and quality) of the real-time data provided for the specific segment.
  • Length: The length of the selected segment.

Relative and absolute value color scale

The route segments are colored based on the below values:

Relative values (current speed relative to free-flow):

Red: 0% - 60%

Orange: 60% - 70%

Yellow: 70% - 80%

Light Green: 80% - 90%

Green: 90% - 100%

Absolute values (km/h):

Red = 0 to 30

Orange = 30 to 60

Yellow = 60 to 95

Light Green = 95 to 120

Green = 120+
