White paper: Providing vocation insights to transportation planners

Making informed transportation decisions requires a deeper understanding of traffic patterns and anomalies. A contextual factor that plays an integral part in aiding these decisions is vocation – understanding not just traffic volume but the vehicle’s purpose on the road.

Vocation, along with other contextual insights, are a key part of the Geotab ITS Altitude platform. Use ITS data to understand why vehicles are on the road, enabling better decisions that enhance traffic flow and support commercial freight activity.

Guide: Understanding Vehicle Movement from A to Z

Transportation engineers and planners often are concerned not only interested in the trips a vehicle takes but also about a vehicle’s ultimate origin and destination.

This journey could consist of several trips related to the truck’s operation, such as weighing stations, refueling or rest stops. Due to the careful construction of trips, we can flexibly “chain” trips together to see the vehicle's entire journey.
