• Sums of traffic volumes and average speeds (km/h) per driving direction during the last day in 1 hour intervals
• Sums of traffic volumes and average speeds (km/h) per driving direction during the last 30 days in 1 day intervals

Traffic data may include flaws or shortages. Constructions sites, errors in counters or other reasons can cause shortages. In addition to shortages, flaws due to technical errors may appear usually in the form of massive volumes, which can be detected as high spikes in the data.
