Traffic info

With a traffic info block you can show Dutch traffic jams and roadworks, from RWS (Rijkswaterstaat)’s public traffic API. No API key is needed.

For public transport info see Public Transport.

A traffic info block shows one of two selections:

• Everything within a distance (filter: 'distance', the default): all announcements within maxDistance km of a location.

• Selected roads (filter: 'roads'): only the roads listed in road, for example 'A4, A17'. The roads are shown in that order, each with at most results announcements. With showemptyroads a road without announcements is listed as well.

A traffic info block for selected roads can be configured as follows:

var trafficinfo = {}
trafficinfo.rwsA4A17 = {
    trafficJams: true,
    roadWorks: false,
    filter: 'roads',
    road: 'A4, A17',
    showemptyroads: true,
    show_lastupdate: true,
    icon: 'fas fa-car',
    width: 12,
    results: 10 };

To show two roads in two separate blocks, define two blocks with one road each.

Using the Widget editor

In Wizard mode all options can be set in the Widget Config of the Traffic information widget (see Widget Config), without hand-writing a block: traffic jams, roadworks and radars, Show (Everything within a distance or Selected roads), the maximum number of results, and either the distance and location, or the Roads and Show roads without announcements.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
filter	'distance': show everything within maxDistance (default) 'roads': show only the roads in road Without filter, a block with a road list uses 'roads', as in earlier versions.
road	The road(s) to show with filter: 'roads', comma separated, in the order they are shown. Case and spaces don’t matter. 'A1, A73'
title	Title of the block
show_lastupdate	false , true. To display the time of the last update.
maxDistance	Only show items within this distance, in km straight-line, from latitude/longitude. Defaults to 40. Not used with filter: 'roads'.
latitude, longitude	Reference location for maxDistance. Leave both unset to use Domoticz’s own configured system location (Settings > System > Location) - only set these yourself if that isn’t configured.
icon	The font-awesome icon (including fas fa-) 'fas fa-car', …
refresh	time in seconds for refreshing the data
results	Number of results to show: per road with filter: 'roads', in total with filter: 'distance'. Defaults to 5.
width	To customize the width. It’s not recommended to change the default value (12) because of the size of the output.
trafficJams	false , true. To show traffic jam info
roadWorks	false , true. To show road work info
radars	false , true. To show radar info. RWS has no radar data, so this currently has no visible effect.

showemptyroads	Control text to show in case of no traffic announcements for a certain road (only applicable with filter: 'roads') false: Don’t show a message in case of no traffic announcements for a certain road. true: Display default message in case of no traffic announcements for a certain road. '<text>': Display <text> in case of no traffic announcements for a certain road.

Styling

In case no info is available then the CSS class empty will be added to block. This can be used to adjust the styling of an empty block via custom.css
