Mobile accounts for approximately half of web traffic worldwide. In the last quarter of 2024, mobile devices (excluding tablets) generated 62.54 percent of global website traffic. Mobiles and smartphones consistently hoovered around the 50 percent mark since the beginning of 2017, before surpassing it in 2020. Mobile traffic Due to low infrastructure and financial restraints, many emerging digital markets skipped the desktop internet phase entirely and moved straight onto mobile internet via smartphone and tablet devices. India is a prime example of a market with a significant mobile-first online population. Other countries with a significant share of mobile internet traffic include Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya. In most African markets, mobile accounts for more than half of the web traffic. By contrast, mobile only makes up around 45.49 percent of online traffic in the United States. Mobile usage The most popular mobile internet activities worldwide include watching movies or videos online, e-mail usage and accessing social media. Apps are a very popular way to watch video on the go and the most-downloaded entertainment apps in the Apple App Store are Netflix, Tencent Video and Amazon Prime Video.

In the measured time period, September 2024 saw the highest figures for online traffic to the C2C fashion marketplace depop.com. According to the data, desktop and mobile visits to depop.com reached 27.2 million visits that month.

In 2023, most of the global website traffic was still generated by humans but bot traffic is constantly growing. Fraudulent traffic through bad bot actors accounted for 32 percent of global web traffic in the most recently measured period, representing an increase of 1.8 percent from the previous year. Sophistication of Bad Bots on the rise The complexity of malicious bot activity has dramatically increased in recent years. Advanced bad bots have doubled in prevalence over the past two years, indicating a surge in the sophistication of cyber threats. Simultaneously, simple bad bots saw a 6 percent increase compared to the previous year, suggesting a shift in the landscape of automated threats. Meanwhile, areas like entertainment, and law & government face the highest amount of advanced bad bots, with more than 78 percent of their bot traffic affected by evasive applications. Good and bad bots across industries The impact of bot traffic varies across different sectors. Bad bots accounted for over 57.2 percent of the gaming segment's web traffic. Meanwhile, almost half of the online traffic for telecom and ISPs was moved by malicious applications. However, not all bot traffic is considered bad. Some of these applications help index websites for search engines or monitor website performance, assisting users throughout their online search. Therefore, areas like entertainment, food and groceries, and financial services experienced notable levels of good bot traffic, demonstrating the diverse applications of benign automated systems across different sectors.

This is a dynamic traffic map service with capabilities for visualizing traffic speeds relative to free-flow speeds as well as traffic incidents which can be visualized and identified. The traffic data is updated every five minutes. Traffic speeds are displayed as a percentage of free-flow speeds, which is frequently the speed limit or how fast cars tend to travel when unencumbered by other vehicles. The streets are color coded as follows:Green (fast): 85 - 100% of free flow speedsYellow (moderate): 65 - 85%Orange (slow); 45 - 65%Red (stop and go): 0 - 45%Esri's historical, live, and predictive traffic feeds come directly from HERE (www.HERE.com). HERE collects billions of GPS and cell phone probe records per month and, where available, uses sensor and toll-tag data to augment the probe data collected. An advanced algorithm compiles the data and computes accurate speeds. Historical traffic is based on the average of observed speeds over the past three years. The live and predictive traffic data is updated every five minutes through traffic feeds. The color coded traffic map layer can be used to represent relative traffic speeds; this is a common type of a map for online services and is used to provide context for routing, navigation and field operations. The traffic map layer contains two sublayers: Traffic and Live Traffic. The Traffic sublayer (shown by default) leverages historical, live and predictive traffic data; while the Live Traffic sublayer is calculated from just the live and predictive traffic data only. A color coded traffic map image can be requested for the current time and any time in the future. A map image for a future request might be used for planning purposes. The map layer also includes dynamic traffic incidents showing the location of accidents, construction, closures and other issues that could potentially impact the flow of traffic. Traffic incidents are commonly used to provide context for routing, navigation and field operations. Incidents are not features; they cannot be exported and stored for later use or additional analysis. The service works globally and can be used to visualize traffic speeds and incidents in many countries. Check the service coverage web map to determine availability in your area of interest. In the coverage map, the countries color coded in dark green support visualizing live traffic. The support for traffic incidents can be determined by identifying a country.

Puff Bar, a disposable electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS), was the ENDS brand most commonly used by U.S. youth in 2021. We explored whether Puff Bar’s rise in marketplace prominence was detectable through advertising, retail sales, social media, and web traffic data sources. We retrospectively documented potential signals of interest in and uptake of Puff Bar in the United States using metrics based on advertising (Numerator and Comperemedia), retail sales (NielsenIQ), social media (Twitter, via Sprinklr), and web traffic (Similarweb) data from January 2019 to June 2022. We selected metrics based on (1) data availability, (2) potential to graph metric longitudinally, and (3) variability in metric. We graphed metrics and assessed data patterns compared to data for Vuse, a comparator product, and in the context of regulatory events significant to Puff Bar. The number of Twitter posts that contained a Puff Bar term (social media), Puff Bar product sales measured in dollars (sales), and the number of visits to the Puff Bar website (web traffic) exhibited potential for surveilling Puff Bar due to ease of calculation, comprehensibility, and responsiveness to events. Advertising tracked through Numerator and Comperemedia did not appear to capture marketing from Puff Bar’s manufacturer or drive change in marketplace prominence. This study demonstrates how quantitative changes in metrics developed using advertising, retail sales, social media, and web traffic data sources detected changes in Puff Bar’s marketplace prominence. We conclude that low-effort, scalable, rapid signal detection capabilities can be an important part of a multi-component tobacco surveillance program.

This dataset contains estimates of the average number of vehicles that used roads throughout the City of Detroit. Each record indicates the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) for a road segment, where the road segment is located, and other characteristics. This data is derived from Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Open Data Portal. SEMCOG was the source for speed limits and number of lanes.The primary measure, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for all types of vehicles. Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for commercial vehicles, a subset of vehicles included in the AADT. The Route ID is an identifier for each road in Detroit (e.g., Woodward Ave). Routes are divided into segments by features such as cross streets, and Location ID's are used to uniquely identify those segments. Along with traffic volume, each record also states the number of lanes, the posted speed limit, and the type of road (e.g., Trunkline or Ramp) based on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional classification system.According to MDOT's Traffic Monitoring Program a commercial vehicle would be anything Class 4 and up in the FHWA vehicle classification system. This includes vehicles such as buses, semi-trucks, and personal recreational vehicles (i.e., RVs or campers). Methods used to determine traffic volume vary by site, and may rely on continuous monitoring or estimates based on short-term studies. Approaches to vehicle classification similarly vary, depending on the equipment used at a site, and may consider factors such as vehicle weight and length between axles.For more information, please visit MDOT Traffic Monitoring Program.

The map layers in this service provide color-coded maps of the traffic conditions you can expect for the present time (the default). The map shows present traffic as a blend of live and typical information. Live speeds are used wherever available and are established from real-time sensor readings. Typical speeds come from a record of average speeds, which are collected over several weeks within the last year or so. Layers also show current incident locations where available. By changing the map time, the service can also provide past and future conditions. Live readings from sensors are saved for 12 hours, so setting the map time back within 12 hours allows you to see a actual recorded traffic speeds, supplemented with typical averages by default. You can choose to turn off the average speeds and see only the recorded live traffic speeds for any time within the 12-hour window. Predictive traffic conditions are shown for any time in the future.The color-coded traffic map layer can be used to represent relative traffic speeds; this is a common type of a map for online services and is used to provide context for routing, navigation, and field operations.

SDCC Traffic Congestion Saturation Flow Data for January to June 2023. Traffic volumes, traffic saturation, and congestion data for sites across South Dublin County. Used by traffic management to control stage timings on junctions. It is recommended that this dataset is read in conjunction with the ‘Traffic Data Site Names SDCC’ dataset.A detailed description of each column heading can be referenced below;scn: Site Serial numberregion: A group of Nodes that are operated under SCOOT control at the same common cycle time. Normally these will be nodes between which co-ordination is desirable. Some of the nodes may be double cycling at half of the region cycle time.system: SCOOT STC UTC (UTC-MX)locn: Locationssite: Site numbersday: Days of the week Monday to Sunday. Abbreviations; MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA,SU.date: Reflects correct actual Date of when data was collected.start_time: NOTE - Please ignore the date displayed in this column. The actual data collection date is correctly displayed in the 'date' column. The date displayed here is the date of when report was run and extracted from the system, but correctly reflects start time of 15 minute intervals. end_time: End time of 15 minute intervals.flow: A representation of demand (flow) for each link built up over several minutes by the SCOOT model. SCOOT has two profiles:(1) Short – Raw data representing the actual values over the previous few minutes(2) Long – A smoothed average of values over a longer periodSCOOT will choose to use the appropriate profile depending on a number of factors.flow_pc: Same as above ref PC SCOOTcong: Congestion is directly measured from the detector. If the detector is placed beyond the normal end of queue in the street it is rarely covered by stationary traffic, except of course when congestion occurs. If any detector shows standing traffic for the whole of an interval this is recorded. The number of intervals of congestion in any cycle is also recorded.The percentage congestion is calculated from:No of congested intervals x 4 x 100 cycle time in seconds.This percentage of congestion is available to view and more importantly for the optimisers to take into account.cong_pc: Same as above ref PC SCOOTdsat: The ratio of the demand flow to the maximum possible discharge flow, i.e. it is the ratio of the demand to the discharge rate (Saturation Occupancy) multiplied by the duration of the effective green time. The Split optimiser will try to minimise the maximum degree of saturation on links approaching the node.

This interactive web application features both the on-road Maryland Level of Bicycle Stress (LTS) feature layer for all road centerlines in Maryland as well the Road-Separated feature layer of all road-separated bike routes throughout Maryland. An overview of the methodology and attribute data for the Maryland Level of Bicycle Stress (LTS) is provided below. For a detailed full report of the methodology, please view the PDF published by the Maryland Department of Transportation here. The Maryland Department of Transportation is transitioning from using the Bicycle Level of Comfort (BLOC) to using the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) for measuring the “bikeability” of the roadway network. This transition is in coordination with the implementation of MDOT SHA’s Context Driven Design Guidelines and other national and departmental initiatives. LTS is preferred over BLOC as LTS requires fewer variables to calculate including: Average Annual Daily Traffic, Speed Limits, Presence of Bicycle Facilities, Shoulder, etc. Data LimitationsA principle of data governance MDOT strives to provide the best possible data products. While the initial LTS analysis of Maryland’s bicycle network has many uses, it should be used with a clear understanding of the current limitations the data presents.Assumptions - As noted earlier in this document, some of the metrics used to determine LTS score were estimated. Speed limits for many local roadways were not included in the original data and were assigned based on the functional classification of the roadway. Speed limits are also based on the posted speed limit, not the prevailing operating vehicle speeds which can vary greatly. Such discrepancies between actual and assumed conditions could introduce margins of error in some cases. As data quality improves with future iterations, the LTS scoring accuracy will also improve.Generalizations - MDOT’s LTS methodology follows industry standards but needs to account for varying roadway conditions and data reliability from various sources. The LTS methodology aims to accurately capture Maryland’s bicycle conditions and infrastructure but must consider data maintenance requirements. To limit data maintenance generalizations were made in the methodology so that a score could be assigned. Specifically, factors such as intersections, intersection approaches and bike lane blockages are not included in this initial analysis. LTS scores may be adjusted in the future based on MDOT review, updated industry standards, and additional LTS metrics being included in OMOC such as parking and buffer widths.Timestamped - As the LTS score is derived from a dynamic linear referencing system (LRS), any LTS analysis performed reflects the data available in OMOC. Each analysis must be considered ‘timestamped’ and becoming less reliable with age. As variables within OMOC change, whether through documented roadway construction, bikeway improvements or a speed limit reduction, LTS scores will also change. Fortunately, as this data is updated in the linear referencing system, the data becomes more reliable and LTS scores become more accurate.Presence and type of bicycle facilitySpeed limitNumber of Through Lanes/Traffic VolumeTraditionally, the Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) (scale “1” to “4”) is a measure for assessing the quality of the roadway network for its comfort with various bicycle users. The lower the LTS score, the more inviting the bicycle facility is for more audiences.LTS Methodology (Overview)MDOT’s LTS methodology is based on the metrics established by the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) Report 11-19 “Low-Stress Bicycling and Network Connectivity (May 2012) - additional criteria refined by Dr. Peter G. Furth (June 2017) below and Montgomery County's Revised Level of Traffic Stress.Shared-use Path Data Development and Complimentary Road Separated Bike Routes DatasetA complimentary dataset – Road Separated Bike Routes, was completed prior to the roadway dataset and is included in this application. It is also provided to the public via (https://maryland.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1e12f2996e76447aba89099f41b14359). This first dataset is an inventory of all shared-use paths open to public, two-way bicycle access which contribute to the bicycle transportation network. Shared-use paths and sidepaths were assigned an LTS score of “0” to indicate minimal interaction with motor vehicle traffic. Many paved loop trails entirely within parks, which had no connection to the adjacent roadway network, were not included but may be included in future iterations. Sidepaths, where a shared-use path runs parallel to an adjacent roadway, are included in this complimentary Road Separated Bike Routes Dataset. Sidepaths do not have as an inviting biking environment as shared-use paths with an independent alignment due to the proximity of motor vehicle traffic in addition to greater likelihood of intersections with more roadways and driveways. Future iterations of the LTS will assign an LTS score of “1” to sidepaths. On-street Bicycle Facility Data DevelopmentThis second dataset includes all on-road bicycle facilities which have a designated roadway space for bicycle travel including bike lanes and protected bike lanes. Marked shared lanes in which bicycle and motor vehicle traffic share travel lanes were not included. Shared lanes, whether sharrows, bike boulevards or signed routes were inventoried but treated as mixed traffic for LTS analysis. The bicycle facilities included in the analysis include:Standard Bike Lanes – A roadway lane designated for bicycle travel at least 5-feet-wide. Bike lanes may be located against the curb or between a parking lane and a motor vehicle travel lane. Buffered bike lanes without vertical separation from motor vehicle traffic are included in this category. Following AASHTO and MDOT SHA design standards, bike lanes are assumed to be at least 5-feet-wide even through some existing bike lanes are less than 5-feet-wide.Protected Bike Lanes – lanes located within the street but are separated from motor vehicle travel lanes by a vertical buffer, whether by a row of parked cars, flex posts or concrete planters.Shoulders – Roadway shoulders are commonly used by bicycle traffic. As such, roadways with shoulders open to bicycle traffic were identified and rated for LTS in relation to adjacent traffic speeds and volumes as well as the shoulder width. Shoulders less than 5-feet-wide, the standard bike lane width, were excluded from analysis and these roadway segments were treated as mixed traffic.The Office of Highway Development at MDOT SHA provided the on-street bicycle facility inventory data for state roadways. The shared-use path inventory and on-street bicycle facility inventory was compiled from local jurisdiction’s open-source download or shared form the GIS/IT departments. Before integrating into OMOC, these datasets were verified by conducting desktop surveys and site visits, and by consulting with local officials and residents.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Inquiries?
