NAVTEQ Traffic information is:

Collected from a range of data sources. The NAVTEQ traffic solution integrates data from a variety of high-quality sources and we constantly test emerging sources. This rich, accurate traffic information runs the gamut from real-time data collected by probes, proprietary sensors, and human sources in the field to historic data based on traffic patterns. By intelligently processing, integrating, and aggregating all data types, we create a picture of current conditions and help predict future conditions by looking at the past. This gives application developers the tools to create the next generation of smart, versatile traffic products for a range of devices and systems.

Integrated and linked to the NAVTEQ® map. NAVTEQ pioneered the development of traffic products for the navigation industry. Our expertise goes beyond simply sourcing fresh, accurate data to include every step of production. We’ve developed 24-hour monitoring facilities and resources, and our proprietary design and production processes result in more accurate data interpretations. By corroborating and verifying multiple sources, we can filter out redundant information. Because we link to the industry-leading NAVTEQ® map, we believe the data is presented more accurately. The result is a consistent, reliable data feed whatever the pipeline or application.

Field tested by NAVTEQ Geographic Analysts who test content where it counts: on the roads. Since their introduction, NAVTEQ products have set the standard for other map-based traffic services. Rooted in the reliability of the NAVTEQ map, each product is created with the assurance of an ISO 2001-9000 quality control program. Everything from our data sources to delivery systems must pass rigorous certification testing for accuracy and reliability. We literally drive the roads — over 120,000 miles to date — to check and verify the traffic content we receive. NAVTEQ traffic data accurately reflects the roads we drive.
