portatour® uses historical traffic flow data for route planning. In addition to considering the current traffic for the first trip, it is also possible to display the effect of the current traffic situation on the already calculated schedule.
Check schedule considering current traffic
- Open your Schedule.
- At the top, click the Current traffic button (or More > Current traffic on small devices).
- If the planned travel time is currently realistic or would even be faster now, the line is highlighted in green.
- If traffic is currently slower than what is planned, but the additional time required is still less than 10 minutes, the line is highlighted in yellow.
- If traffic is currently significantly slower than what is planned and the additional time required would be more than 10 minutes, the line is highlighted in red.
Hint: Note that this represents a snapshot. The further the journey is in the future, the less informative the current traffic is for it. If the additional time required is already expected on your next drive, we recommend updating the schedule to take current traffic into account ( see Update schedule with current traffic).
