This tool conducts surveys of estimated motor vehicle journey times taking account of traffic congestion as estimated by Google Maps. The tool accepts a request for a specific route and collects Google’s predicted motor vehicle driving time repeatedly over any period of duration between 6 hours to 14 days.
To use it you have to:
Google collects data on road traffic congestion by recording the locations of smartphones in vehicles. They use the resulting information to generate the display of traffic levels with coloured lines on Google Maps and to give driving time estimates to users whenever they request a route.
Our tool exploits a similar facility that Google offers application developers to access the current estimated journey time for any given route.
