Built for State Freight Plans. Powered by Real-World Truck Movement.
Freight planners face growing pressure to submit federally compliant freight plans, justify investments and solve complex infrastructure needs. Altitude provides granular, first-party commercial vehicle data—fully privacy-safe and aligned with BIL/NHFP mandates—to help planners confidently prioritize projects and secure funding.
Use Expansion Factors and vehicle-classified VMT to create defensible project justifications aligned with NHFP, RAISE and INFRA grant expectations.
Regional Travel Metrics (RTM) reveals scalable VMT, congestion trends and route usage by truck class—empowering corridor prioritization and compliance with FAST Act metrics.
Stop Analytics with Hourly Parked Events provides the full picture of truck parking behavior—where trucks remain parked, not just where they stop—informing rest area planning and EV site selection.
Analyze O & D flows and freight hub activity with regional and cross-jurisdiction insights—futureproofing plans for rail, port and highway coordination.
Create zone-specific insights for grant regions with Custom Zones, Expansion Factors and defensible metrics that hold up to FHWA and USDOT scrutiny.
Build fundable, compliant freight plans with Altitude’s scalable traffic metrics, defensible parking analytics and intuitive planner tools—all designed to reduce time-to-insight and increase confidence in your investment strategy.
Altitude by Geotab delivers privacy-safe, first-party mobility insights for transportation decision-makers—enabling better freight planning, faster funding justification and more resilient infrastructure strategies.
As the source of both data and analysis, Altitude maintains unmatched transparency, confidentiality and context across all road network movements.

A: Altitude is built on first-party data from over four million commercial fleet vehicles connected through Geotab. To maintain defensibility, we validate our data using FHWA HPMS ground-truth traffic counts and published AADT benchmarks. Each data point includes rich context such as vehicle class, fuel type and vocation—allowing freight planners to move beyond volume counts to true corridor and parking behavior analysis. For more information about our commitment to data privacy, visit https://altitude.geotab.com/data-privacy/.
A: Privacy and compliance are built into every layer of Altitude. We use anonymization, secure encryption and PI Safe data layer processing to protect every trip, stop and behavior insight. Our platform meets or exceeds all applicable state and federal privacy regulations—so transportation agencies can confidently use detailed truck movement insights without risk.

A: Altitude classifies every commercial vehicle trip by fuel type, vocation, class and industry segment. This context enables planners to perform vehicle-type-specific planning (e.g., heavy-duty diesel vs. electric), evaluate zero-emission readiness and understand freight behavior far beyond basic traffic volumes.
A: Our platform uses high-frequency GPS sampling, consistent expansion methodology and segment-level validation to deliver reliable metrics like VMT, AADT and idling. All methodologies are transparent and documented—maintaining audit-readiness for federal funding, FHWA submissions and inter-agency collaboration.
A: Altitude offers both a visual UI and direct API access. You can filter and download reports for offline use or connect your planning environment to our API for seamless integration with STIP/TIP systems, GIS platforms and grant documentation tools.
