Local Hazard Information improves road safety by providing event data about local hazards detected from sensors in our vehicles. This data package includes accidents, broken-down vehicles, slippery roads, and reduced visibility due to heavy rain or fog. Local Hazard Information allows you to optimize navigation services, create early warnings for drivers, develop predictive rerouting and thus increase driver safety. Drivers are enabled to make timely and proactive driving decisions, significantly improving overall road safety.
Our data set includes time of hazard information, the time of registered GPS position, GPS information, speed, and event type.
