AirSage Real-Time Traffic (ART™)
|
|
AirSage Real-time Traffic, or ART, provides real-time vehicle traffic speeds on nearly 500,000 miles of highway and arterial roads throughout the U.S.
The patented ART system uses the largest network of mobile traffic sensors available, with over 35 million devices reporting in real-time.
Unlike other solutions, AirSage continually reports traffic speed information based on real-time observations of actual vehicle movements, rather than relying on predictive models driven by historical or limited real-time data.

ART uses data from the AirSage WiSE (Wireless Signal Extraction) platform. The WiSE platform transforms anonymous wireless network signaling data into real-time location information. Using proprietary algorithms to analyze location changes over time and relating those changes to vehicle movement along the road network, the ART system can compute real-time vehicle traffic flow data for virtually any road segment covered by AirSage’s wireless carrier partners.
ART reports speed and travel time data via a simple XML data feed, with information updated every one to two minutes for each road segment. The XML feed is easily integrated into existing traffic information and display systems.
Data is reported by individual road segments (referenced by standard TMC coding) or custom-defined routes of multiple segments.
