Understand how and where connected trucks and vehicles travel with Altitude by Geotab.
To make the best possible freight and infrastructure planning and modelling decisions, you need to know the types of vehicles on your roads – and how they use them. With access to millions of connected commercial vehicles available through the Altitude platform, Origin & Destination and Freight Analytics connects you to rich transportation data that helps you understand the true purpose of road trips, so you can plan more effectively.
Whether you want to analyze the true origins and destinations of vehicle movement throughout your state or jurisdiction, index popular routes from a port or understand travel time metrics from one commercial hub to a specific geopolitical zone, you have the flexibility to investigate months of data within minutes – easily and on-demand.
Assess situations, observe trends and make better freight planning decisions based on aggregate connected-vehicle activity. With Origin & Destination and Freight Analytics, you tap into these benefits and more:
Gain access to Geotab’s vast commercial vehicle data network to support strategic, informed, and cost-effective freight planning at a statewide macro-level or at a granular micro-level such as census tract or TAZ areas.
Identify the types of vehicles that use your roads and how, for effective planning that accommodates all types of commercial traffic, including light- medium- heavy-duty trucks and multi-purpose vehicles, all of which can be filtered by class 1-8.
Generate and visualize tailored origin-destination insights that reflect the data you care about, including custom-defined regions of interest and filters such as trip chaining for relevant metrics, journey definition, vocation, industry, and vehicle class.
Origin & Destination and Freight Analytics are Altitude by Geotab’s Core TETC offerings which help you unlock the insights you need through a rich set of features and filters, including the following:
The Origin and Destination (O/D) module offers detailed insights into vehicle movement patterns through a flexible analysis tool. This module supports strategic infrastructure planning, efficient logistics and regulatory compliance by helping transportation planners, commercial developers, city officials and traffic engineers optimize vehicle movement patterns for enhanced transportation planning and infrastructure development.
Our patented machine learning model examines driving behavior to automatically classify trips and vehicles into categories according to a vocation or purpose, including long haul, hub-and-spoke delivery or last mile door-to-door delivery.
Understanding how certain classes of vehicles use your roadways is critical for effective planning decisions. Altitude by Geotab provides insights into all classes of vehicles ranging from multipurpose vehicles, light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty trucks, passenger vehicles, buses and others.
To understand commercial vehicle movement patterns at aggregate, you need to capture a journey’s true origin and destination. Origin & Destination lets you chain individual trips together to ensure intermediary stops don’t skew the data.
While OD analysis can sometimes take hours, the Altitude platform shortens time to insight, processing months of data for large jurisdictions in just minutes.
To better understand road networks, Altitude by Geotab offers state-level expansion factors for all 50 states in the USA using a tailored weighting methodology over discrete locations which ensures more accurate and versatile data for freight planning and operations.
Beyond our Core offerings of Origin & Destination and Freight Analytics, see what other macro and micro level analysis can be performed with additional Altitude products. Whether you’re examining a corridor that spans several states, or zooming into transportation or parking behaviors at a specific location like a port or warehouse, the Altitude platform gives you the rich insights you need to make informed decisions.
