An aerial view of a roadside rest area featuring designated parking spaces for buses and trucks. On the upper half, several buses and a few smaller vehicles are parked in marked spaces labeled "BUS." In the lower half, trucks with trailers are parked in separate lanes, mostly aligned parallel to each other. The rest area includes green grass and shrubs separating the parking sections, with paved roads running through the area. A small picnic area with tables is visible in the top right corner, adding functionality to the rest stop.

Stop Analytics

Unlock smarter transportation, parking and infrastructure plans with detailed stop behavior across a region, corridor or road segment—including new hourly insights into parking duration.

Make every stop count

The Stop Analytics module provides comprehensive, reliable insights to address the challenge of incomplete vehicle stop data. With the addition of Hourly Parking Events, users can now go beyond simply knowing where trucks stop—they can understand how long vehicles remain parked, hour by hour. This enables better planning for truck parking, EV charging and infrastructure investment. Transportation agencies, utilities, consultants and developers can make more informed decisions with confidence.

 

Go beyond the surface of vehicle stops

Achieve a deeper understanding of stop behavior with granular, transparent data—including duration analysis that highlights how long trucks stay parked at a location throughout the day. Identify unmet parking demand, optimize rest area utilization and pinpoint infrastructure gaps.

As the primary source of commercial vehicle data, Altitude delivers insights with unmatched integrity from over four million vehicles—providing detailed, trustworthy information on vehicle class, vocation fuel type, and industry. With the addition of Hourly Parking Events, users gain even deeper visibility into how long vehicles remain parked, not just where they stop—turning moment-in-time data into meaningful, time-based infrastructure signals.

 

Leverage a multi-year historical archive of vehicle movements, class and stop behavior—including hourly parking duration patterns. This long-term perspective supports more accurate forecasting, better capacity planning and stronger justification for infrastructure investment.

 

Access consistent and reliable vehicle and trip-level information across multiple dimensions, such as fuel type, vocation, industry and parking duration. The integration of Hourly Parking Events adds critical duration-based context to stop behavior—helping planners distinguish between high-frequency vs. high-occupancy parking locations.

 

Our platform adheres to strict confidentiality and privacy standards, delivering valuable transportation insights without compromising driver, vehicle, or company identity. Even with granular data like hourly parking patterns, all insights are fully aggregated and privacy-safe.

 

Tools that work like you do

Use intuitive filtering and aggregation tools to segment and analyze vehicle stop data, offering actionable insights to support freight planning, safety improvements and infrastructure strategy.

 

Tailor outputs to your planning context

Filter and segment data by geography, road type, vehicle class, vocation or fuel type to generate purpose-built insights that match your reporting needs.

 

Flexible aggregation, powerful perspectives

Analyze stop behavior across multiple aggregation modes—including zones, road segments, related roads and hexes—providing planners and analysts with location-specific flexibility.

Surface temporal patterns

Quickly observe trends by filtering stops and parked events by hour of day, day of week or vehicle characteristics—revealing when and how commercial demand peaks.

New: Still-Parked visibility

With Hourly Parking Events, go beyond arrival counts to see how long vehicles remain parked hour by hour—unlocking accurate demand signals for truck parking, EV charging and rest area planning.

See stops from anywhere

Explore vehicle behavior across regions, corridors and competitive zones to understand how stop dynamics vary by location—and where unmet demand or opportunity exists.

Better freight, parking and site planning

Leverage detailed vehicle stop data—including new hourly duration tracking—to support truck parking studies, grant justifications, curbside strategies and infrastructure development.

Precision site selection

Understand stop behavior across regions, neighborhoods or key corridors to assess visits to competitor and commercial locations. This module provides a comprehensive analysis of aggregate stop data, helping inform site selection with market share metrics.

 

Effective freight parking

Segment heavy-duty truck stops by vocation, travel times and stop durations to understand parking behavior. Identify high-demand areas for truck parking, aiding in precise planning for improved safety and efficiency.

 

Improve road safety and efficiency

Aggregate stops by road segments to better plan for curbside parking and support the effective implementation of safety interventions.

 

Alternative fuels and charging

Know where vehicles stop and why, distinguishing between dwell locations, route stops and traffic stops. The Stop Analytics module allows for precise planning of charging and refueling depots based on truck clustering patterns segmentable by class, fuel type and others.
