How it works

Basically, the bot consists of a three-step process:

1. First, so-called Traffic Flow data for the area of Wiesbaden is requested from the HERE Traffic API.
2. Subsequently, the data is validated, filtered and mapped (road names, speed limits etc.) based on local conditions.
3. Finally, any speeds exceeding the speed limit (plus a 10 % margin) are posted to Twitter.
