Module Overview

The Altitude API is organized into modules, each dedicated to a distinct analytical area.

API Module Overview

The Altitude API is provisioned through a modular architecture. Each module is dedicated to a distinct functional area, offering a suite of endpoints tailored to a primary analytical function.

Note: The General and Zones modules are available to all Altitude users. Origin and Destination, Stop Analytics, Traffic Analytics, and Regional Travel Metrics are subject to licensing.

Module

Description

AADT

Returns Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates per road segment for selected zones and vehicle class schemes, using Geotab's statistical modelling on first-party telematics data.

General

Provides common services and reference data used across all modules, including job management, filter options (industries, vehicle classes, vocations), database configuration, and analysis metadata.

Origin and Destination

Supports Origin and Destination analysis, including closed matrix, corridor/segment flow, open-ended OD, route analysis, and segment analysis.

POI

Evaluates competitive landscapes around specific points of interest using first-party commercial vehicle telematics. Returns competitor POIs within a radius, including brand names, stop counts, dwell times, vehicle class, vocation, fleet size, and fuel type.

Regional Travel Metrics

Provides information related to vehicle distance traveled (VDT), fuel economy, idle metrics, demand generation, and observed counts.

Stop Analytics

Supports stop-based analytics including Regional Domicile Analytics (RDA), stop events, and Fuel Point Analytics (Beta).

Traffic Analytics

Supports traffic analysis including speed per segment, speed summary, speed trend, speed map metrics, harsh events per segment, and road reverse lookup.

Zones

Supports administrative activities for custom zones, such as creating, updating, and reading zone types and custom zones. Also supports zone lookups by hierarchy, ID, radius, sub-type, and road segments.
