Traffic Incidents API

Introduction

NextBillion.ai’s Traffic Incidents API provides users with detailed information about the traffic related incidents within a specified geographic area. The service provides users with a list of all incidents/road closures and their associated properties like - cause of incident, impacted roads, severity and probability of incident, start-end times for scheduled or planned closures and the impact on travel time or delays caused by a given incident. The service allows users to search for incidents in a given bounding box area along with other classifying inputs like - specific incident types or timings to receive all desired incident details.
