How much traffic moves through any location
Vehicle distance travelled from xMap's traffic probe data, passenger and truck, on the roads around any point of interest. Broken down by hour, day, and week, and indexed to a baseline so you can see disruption and recovery.
Every kilometre driven around a place
Vehicle distance travelled, or VDT, is the total distance all vehicles drive on the road network around a location. xMap measures it from anonymous traffic probe data and splits it into passenger and truck, then indexes each day against a baseline weekday average so a single number tells you whether an area is busier or quieter than normal. The result is a precise, comparable read on how much traffic a place actually generates, hour by hour.

Road-network map
Every road link around the site, coloured by traffic volume, from high to low. Click any link for its detail.
VDT index vs baseline
Daily passenger and truck volume indexed to 100, so disruption and recovery are impossible to miss.
Speed vs volume
Harmonic mean speed against volume, day by day, to read congestion and travel-time consistency.
Truck share
Weekly truck VDT as a share of total, the metric that matters for logistics and freight planning.
Hour and weekday patterns
Traffic by hour of day and weekday versus weekend, plus cumulative volume across the period.

Headline numbers that mean something
Each report opens with the figures that drive a decision: how much passenger and truck traffic a location sees on a normal weekday, the truck share, and where the trend sits today against its baseline. Precise enough to compare locations, simple enough to act on.
Who uses road traffic data
Traffic exposure
Rank locations by the real volume of vehicles passing, on the roads that actually reach the site.
Freight & fleet
Use truck VDT and truck share to plan routes, depots, and delivery windows around real freight movement.
CRE & retail
Back a location's value with demonstrated drive-by volume by hour, day, and season.
Roadside & OOH
Size the audience for billboards and roadside media by when traffic actually peaks.
Planning & congestion
Read speed and volume together to assess congestion, travel time, and the impact of changes.
Activity signals
Track how busy an asset or area is over time as an early read on activity and recovery.

Probe-based, precise, and comparable
Passenger and truck split
Every metric separates cars from trucks, so freight and consumer traffic never blur together.
Indexed to baseline
Days indexed to a weekday average make disruption, seasonality, and recovery obvious at a glance.
Link-level detail
Down to individual road links within the polygon, not just a single number for the whole area.
Flexible delivery

Road traffic data, answered
What is vehicle distance travelled (VDT)?
VDT is the total distance all vehicles drive on the road network around a location over a period. xMap measures it from anonymous traffic probe data and splits it into passenger and truck, which makes it a precise, comparable measure of how much traffic a place generates.
What does an xMap traffic report show?
Each report covers the roads within a polygon around a point of interest and includes passenger and truck VDT, a road-network map coloured by volume, a daily index against a baseline, speed versus volume, truck share, hourly and weekday patterns, cumulative volume, and a top-links table, plus a JSON export.
What is the difference between passenger and truck VDT?
Passenger VDT is distance driven by cars and light vehicles; truck VDT is distance driven by freight and heavy vehicles. Reporting them separately lets logistics teams read freight movement while retail and site teams focus on consumer traffic.
What does the baseline index mean?
Each day is indexed to 100, where 100 equals the weekday average of a reference period. A value of 70 means traffic is running at seventy percent of normal, which makes disruption and recovery easy to read without knowing the raw kilometres.
How granular is the data?
Reports go down to individual road links within the polygon and to the hour of the day, with weekday, weekend, and weekly breakdowns across the full period.
Which locations does xMap cover?
Traffic reports are live for 8 locations across five emirates in the UAE, spanning financial, industrial, and logistics sites. Any additional location, corridor, or country can be built on request.
Can I get a report for a location you do not list?
Yes. Give the xMap team the point of interest, corridor, or area you need and they will scope and build its traffic report.
How is the data measured, and is it private?
It is derived from anonymous, aggregated traffic probe data mapped to the road network, reported at the level of roads and areas rather than identifiable vehicles or individuals.
