Our data’s pricing is based on population models and differs by region. We will work closely with your team to understand your budget and support you wherever possible.

Our data is only offered in the U.S. and Canada right now. It consists of accurate sample sizes of commercial vehicle data that we expand out across entire regions. The smallest area our data covers is roughly the size of a county, with wider insights that cover more land also retrievable. Overall, we have data coverage of 99.9% of primary roadways in North America.

Our data is representative of the commercial vehicle traffic within a region. With our Expansion Factors, we take our subset of commercial vehicle data and accurately proportionalize it to reflect total movement (Expansion Factors are only available in the U.S.).

Altitude by Geotab has options to support licensing data depending on the use case. By better understanding your project, we can provide a recommendation of the module required as well as the spatial and temporal requirements to ensure it meets your needs. A project license allows a customer to license a specific amount of historical months, whereas a subscription license offers 12 months of historical data and 12 months of ongoing data for a one-year term.

Our insights are currently limited to commercial vehicle data and aren’t updated in real-time. However, our transportation data provides unmatched context, shedding light on vehicle classes, makes, vocations and travel tendencies. These key pieces of information help provide the “what” and “why” behind truck and freight movement, ultimately supplying research projects with the deeper information they need. Altitude, our transportation management solution, provides a wide-ranging depth and breadth of high-quality analytics to construct any transportation initiative.

We draw our numbers from over four million Geotab-tracked vehicles. We then use our improved Expansion Factors method to calculate trustworthy traffic counts and data for organizations of any size.

Our mobility insights offer key contextual factors that are often left out or neglected, providing associations, institutes and NPOs with critical background knowledge that uncovers vehicles’ distinct purposes and reasons for movement. Plus, you’re able to customize the data to your specific project’s needs. Zoom into ultra-granular transportation data on a road-by-road basis or view macro-scale insights to survey the cumulative effects of a new initiative.

As a trusted research ally, Altitude by Geotab avoids complacency by constantly innovating in tandem with our partners. We regularly engineer new releases to enhance our data’s capabilities and scope, leading the way in mobility innovation.

We treat our customers’ data privacy and security with the utmost importance. Our transportation analytics are not raw insights. They are always provided in an anonymized format to protect our clients’ data.
