GPS Data Road Traffic - Spain 2023

The dataset contains 140 966 564 raw location data points from vehicles in pensinsular Spain, recorded throughout the calendar year 2023.

The data was generated by industrial telemetric hardware installed directly in the vehicles, ensuring high data quality and a 1:1 match between GPS data and vehicle movement, unlike other common sources such as mobile phone GPS data.

The vehicles are both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCV).

The data contains the GPS raw location data (timestamp, latitude, longitude) with a nominal precision of 6 digits and a high sampling frequency, with a typical point-to-point interval between 2 s and 60 s. The most common sampling interval is 10 s and the 0.99 percentile of the data is roughly at 200 s (see metadata table), but the vast majority is significantly below that.

The data is grouped by vehicles, but all data has been anonymized in order to blur the exact origin and destination of the individual vehicles.

The data does not contain any personal data nor identifier of the vehicles themselves, their owners or drivers.

This dataset is useful for:

• Determining the routes taken by each vehicle: This helps in understanding travel patterns and optimizing routes.
• Real-time or historical tracking of vehicle locations: This is crucial for fleet management, logistics, and ensuring the safety of vehicles.
• Generating alerts: Alerts can be created if a vehicle moves outside predefined boundaries.
• Historical traffic data analysis: This provides insights into trends, such as peak traffic times or common routes.
• Improving customer service: It helps in providing better estimates for arrival times and enhancing overall customer service.
