A new truck traffic portal is intended to present toll data clearly and interactively. The application developed by Toll Collect is based on anonymized toll data from the federal government and is provided free of charge as an open data offering via the Mobilithek, in cooperation with the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility (BALM), Toll Collect announced in a press release on June 2.
Christian Hoffmann, President of the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility, and Mark Erichsen, Chairman of the Management Board of Toll Collect, presented the truck traffic portal at the transport logistic 2025 trade fair in
Munich.
"We are creating transparency and already provide extensive toll statistics on the BALM website every month," said Christian Hoffmann. "The modern, map-based truck traffic portal facilitates access to toll data for planners and professional users and opens up new application perspectives."
"In cooperation with BALM, we are presenting a transparent, easily understandable visualization of truck trips on all highways and federal roads," added Erichsen. "We provide users from administration, research, and business with a modern analysis tool – fast, easily accessible, and data-based."
With the truck traffic portal, BALM and Toll Collect are responding to an increasing number of
individual inquiries from the federal government, states, municipalities, and research institutions about truck traffic. The portal makes it possible to answer many inquiries independently in the future. It offers, among other things, information on the number of toll-liable trips on individual sections, on cross-connections in the non-toll network, and on local traffic trends.
The truck traffic portal has the following functions:
- Interactive map of Germany with zoom function
- Display of performances on all highways and federal roads
- Pop-up details on route sections and cross-connections
- Filter options
- Traffic data broken down by days
- Time comparisons of traffic volumes (3, 6, 12
- months)
- CSV download of all displayed data
Access is via the federal government’s Mobilithek and the websites of BALM and Toll Collect. No registration for the truck traffic portal or special access requirements are necessary.
The information displayed is based on anonymized historical toll data. It is updated weekly. The trip data per day is available for the past two months.
The truck traffic portal is part of the legal mandate to provide toll data regularly, standardized, and free of charge (§ 9 Abs. 7 BFStrMG). It complements the tabular data offerings of BALM in the Mobilithek with an intuitive
