HERE INTRODUCES “ADVANCED TRAFFIC PATTERNS” TO IMPROVE TRUCK DELIVERY ARRIVAL CALCULATIONS
HERE offers transportation and logistics (T&L) companies improved planning capabilities with predictive and more accurate ETA windows.
The demand for more accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA) information has skyrocketed. With more than half of all ground freight moved by trucks globally, improving commercial vehicle ETAs are essential to more efficient and sustainable transportation operations.
HERE Technologies has launched HERE Advanced Traffic Patterns to help improve the planning, routing and delivery of all types of goods and packages. Every portion of a supply chain’s first, middle, and last-mile operation relies on precise ETA information.
Traditional ETAs are based on the average, aggregated vehicle speeds for any given road segment. However, commercial vehicles travel at slower speeds on average than passenger cars. Therefore, accurate ETAs for trucks require the segmentation of passenger and commercial traffic speed data.
HERE Advanced Traffic Patterns leverages trillions of data points from onboard sensors, telematics systems and mobile devices to calculate more accurate traffic speed information customized for commercial vehicles, incorporating variables such as time, day and vehicle type.
HERE Advanced Traffic Patterns provides coverage globally and is now available for customers to evaluate. The data is regularly refreshed and highly responsive to recent changes. Key features include:
- ETA Window: Estimated minimum and maximum speed of each road segment, incorporating only truck movements, creating better baselines for ETA windows, including the planning of future routes.
- Heavy Truck Traffic Patterns: Available variant for heavy trucks, enabling routers to have more accurate ETAs based on commercial vehicle speeds versus passenger vehicle speeds.
