OnTerra Systems Announces New Predictive Traffic API

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DENVER, September 10, 2018

OnTerra Systems (www.OnTerraSystems.com), a provider of web mapping and route optimization tools, today announced the availability of a new Predictive Traffic API.

The new Predictive Traffic API enables developers to incorporate real-world traffic patterns into route planning, ETA calculations, and fleet dispatching applications. Unlike static “speed limit times” that ignore real driving conditions, the Predictive Traffic API uses historical and predicted traffic data to deliver more realistic drive times — leading to better routes, more accurate customer ETAs, and fewer missed delivery windows.

What Predictive Traffic Adds

• Drive time estimates that reflect typical traffic conditions at any day and hour
• Better customer-facing ETAs that don’t miss the mark during rush hour
• More efficient route optimization when used with RouteSavvy API
• RESTful API with JSON responses — easy to integrate

“Without predictive traffic data, route optimization gives you a theoretical answer that ignores the reality of how roads actually behave at 8am on a Tuesday versus 2pm on a Saturday,” said Steve Milroy, OnTerra Systems president. “Adding predictive traffic data dramatically improves the accuracy of any route planning or ETA application — and the result is happier customers and more efficient operations.”

The Predictive Traffic API is available as a standalone product or as an add-on to RouteSavvy API customers. For pricing and integration documentation, visit OnTerra Systems’ website or contact the sales team at info@onterrasystems.com.
