5 StreetPro Traffic Product Guide Introduction StreetPro Traffic is the traffic data add-on to the StreetPro suite of Products*. It provides hourly Probe data counts for weekday and weekends that can be attached to the road networks available in the StreetPro products. Probe counts represent the aggregate of the number of devices (satellite navigation devices & mobile phones using satellite navigation software) that were recorded on a road segment within the StreetPro road network during an hour. Probe Data Collection The probe count data is collected from various sources and suppliers. These range from Navigation systems, fleet management and telematics tracking devices to mobile navigation applications, taxi services and tracking devices. Only suppliers with high quality and regular update frequency data are utilised to ensure the data is as accurate as it can be. Features The numeric values contained in StreetPro Traffic represent the number of specific location enabled or navigation devices, that utilize the given segment of road within the specified hour as an average for that hour of the day over the preceding period. This information may be used for the following use cases: As an input to traffic modelling processes that utilize actual counts in combination with StreetPro Traffic. The counts then may be used to calibrate the values in StreetPro Traffic to model actual volumes. This is useful for planning, retail site selection and logistics applications. As an indicator of comparative traffic volumes, i.e. to understand which roads in a region carry the heaviest traffic by time of day this may be useful for understanding congestion patterns or comparing retail locations. To model traffic volumes by time of day, i.e. to understand how the volume of traffic changes throughout the day this may be useful for planning purposes or for optimizing routes to avoid times of heavy road usage. *StreetPro suite consists of StreetPro Display, StreetPro Classic, StreetPro Navigation, StreetPro Navigation Premium. Please note that StreetPro Traffic is not suitable for use with StreetPro Display. Pitney Bowes 5 February 2018
