Bring high-quality traffic intelligence into your applications with the PTV Flows API. Access real-time traffic conditions, historical data, and short-term traffic forecasts through easy-to-integrate REST APIs. Whether you're building mobility platforms, traffic management systems, or logistics solutions, our documentation helps you get started quickly.

PTV Flows APIs

APIs for real-time traffic management:

PTV Flows allows traffic operators to monitor and predict traffic in real time. By leveraging machine learning, state-of-the-art algorithms, and automatic alerts, PTV Flows enables cities and road authorities to optimize their traffic management without the need for extensive resources or complex infrastructure.

PTV Flows API provides a new level of modularity to your traffic management system. APIs can automate routine tasks, streamline communication, and provide pre-built functionalities such as authentication, communication, payment processing, and maps.

  • KPI API: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used to assess different characteristics of the traffic network. The KPI API provides in-depth analysis of traffic performance on user-defined key corridors. It enables continuous monitoring, prediction, and customizable alerts based on traffic flow characteristics, to facilitate proactive traffic management and informed decision-making.
  • Street Forecast API: Street Forecast APIs enables users to obtain predictive measurements across different dimensions of the traffic network. It includes currently the forecasting of traffic speeds on the network. By offering short-term predictions of traffic , extending up to 60 minutes into the future, Street Forecast API is crucial for traffic management control rooms. It allows operators to proactively manage traffic flow by anticipating potential issues. 
  • Historical Data Analysis API: Historical Data Analysis (HDA) APIs serves as a repository for traffic speed data, enabling extensive offline analysis. HDA allows users to examine historical trends and patterns in traffic behaviour, thereby identifying recurring congestion points and understanding long-term traffic dynamics. 
  • Network API: Network API provides you the network data associated to your product instance. It serves as the foundational layer that provides the spatial context necessary for all traffic-related data and GIS analyses to be done externally to PTV Flows. 

    Note: Network API must be purchased separately.

  • Realtime Traffic API: Realtime Traffic API allows you to enable 1-minute refresh rate for Floating Car Data (FCD), and this is crucial to provide the most current view of the traffic network. 
  • Detectors API: Detectors API enables the creation and management of count sites that collect real-time traffic data from various detector technologies. It supports detector monitoring, integration with external systems, and the management of measurement and vehicle types for traffic analysis and operations.
