Data Lab
Data drives
We’re opening up our data for all, through five new data services.
These data services are available as application processing interfaces (APIs), and share data on road and lane closures, digital variable message signs, road limits and features, diversion routes and speed managed areas. Whether you’re a developer, engineer or an innovator seeking to shape the future of digital navigation, our APIs are designed to seamlessly integrate with your products.
Our data services
The Developer Portal allows developers to access our suite of free APIs and integrate them into their own systems in order to innovate, build, and explore the value data unlocks for the transport network.
Road and Lane Closures
Provides visibility on closures, enabling more accurate journey time prediction.
Explore Road and Lane Closures
Digital Variable Message Signs (VMS)
Provides safe and consistent messaging through digital signage.
Explore Digital Variable Message Signs
Speed Managed Areas
Shares temporary speed restrictions to improve journey planning.

Get access to our data labs
This is the place where technology meets collaboration and where developers from all walks of life come together to explore, share ideas and learn.
Powered by National Highways
Data Lab is delivered by existing teams in National Highways.
The purpose of the labs is to share valuable National Highways data, provide insights, create experiences, build connections, stimulate innovation and encourage collaboration across the mobility ecosystem.
Data Science
The Data Science team create insight and generate value from data through data science/products raise the profile of the Digital Lab, speed up delivery and increase ROI on data science products, mandate to operate, open up our data and expertise as a platform for innovation across the connected services ecosystem and research partners and continuously upskill and develop an innovation pipeline.
Our capabilities include: Create data science products from initial pipeline to delivery and training, mandate to operate via regulatory and ethics compliance, audit ready and Centre of Excellence, and open up our platform and data via insights and innovation labs, thought leadership and brand leadership
Data Architecture and Engineering
Data Architecture and Engineering provide the platforms, practices, and developer experience that is needed internally and across our supply chain to bring our data products to market. Our strengths are in platform design and data modelling. Keeping those models consistent across the business helps maintain institutional knowledge and keeps our data products consistent.
