Probe Vehicle Data (PVD) is data generated by vehicles. The collected traffic data can be used as input for operational traffic management (e.g., to determine the traffic speed, manage traffic flows by – for instance- alerting users in hot spots, where the danger of accidents accumulates), long term tactical/ strategic purposes (e.g. road maintenance planning) and for travelled information services. Also known as Floating Car Data (FCD).

This service architecture is largely based on the ARC-IT service package Vehicle-Based Traffic Surveillance, with customizations to support local user needs.
