Fetches real-time traffic messages from ASTRA's DATEX II platform. Data is updated live by Swiss Traffic Management Center (VMZ-CH), cantonal police, and road operation units.

Complements Phase 1: While road_find_sharing shows WHERE vehicles are available, this tool shows WHY a road is currently blocked.

REQUIRES: OPENTRANSPORTDATA_API_KEY environment variable. Free registration: https://api-manager.opentransportdata.swiss

Get real-time vehicle counts and speeds at Swiss traffic measurement stations.

Finds nearby counting stations and returns live traffic flow data: vehicles per hour (separated by light/heavy vehicles) and average speeds.

Data is updated every minute by ASTRA and cantonal road authorities. This is the «digital tally counter» of Swiss roads – precise, live, distinguishing passenger cars from trucks.

Use case: «How busy is the A1 near Zurich right now?» or «How much truck traffic passes through Lucerne hourly?»

• EV charging stations

• Park & Rail facilities at nearby train stations

• Nearest train station (transport.opendata.ch)

• Traffic situations if Phase 2 API key is configured (optional)

This is the «mobility cockpit» – the control tower view. Instead of calling 5 different tools, get everything at once.

Plan a multimodal trip: Drive → Park & Rail → Train → Destination.

The «Holy Grail» of Phase 3: combines all data sources into a complete door-to-door multimodal route plan.

Workflow (all in parallel where possible):

1. Find the nearest train station from your start location

2. Find Park & Rail facilities near the start (where to park your car)

3. Get public transport connections from nearest station to destination

4. Check shared mobility options at start for last-mile to station

5. Assemble everything into a step-by-step route plan

Use case: «I'm in Dietikon with a car. I need to get to Bern. Where can I park? Which train should I take?»

No API key required – uses:

• SBB Open Data (Park & Rail) – free

• transport.opendata.ch (PT connections) – free

• sharedmobility.ch (sharing options) – free

Data sources:

• SBB Open Data Portal (data.sbb.ch) – Park & Rail

• transport.opendata.ch – Journey planning

• sharedmobility.ch – Sharing last mile

Returns: JSON with: - nearest_station: Closest train station from start - recommended_park_rail: Best P+R option - plan_steps: Step-by-step multimodal route - all_ov_connections: All available PT connections - last_mile_sharing: Sharing options at start location

Convert a Swiss address to GPS coordinates using the official federal address registry.

Uses swisstopo's amtliches Gebäudeadressverzeichnis (GWR-based) – the authoritative Swiss federal building address register containing every officially registered address in Switzerland.

Unlike general geocoders, this returns only verified, legally registered addresses. Every result has an EGAID (Eidgenössischer Adressidentifikator) and EGID (Gebäudeidentifikator) from the federal GWR register.

Think of it as the «official digital postman»: if the address exists in Switzerland, it's here. If it's not here, it may not be officially registered.

Phase 4 tool – no API key required! Data source: geo.admin.ch / swisstopo amtliches Gebäudeadressverzeichnis.

Returns: JSON with matching addresses, each containing: - address: Full address string (e.g. «Bahnhofstrasse 1 8001 Zürich») - latitude / longitude: WGS84 coordinates - feature_id: ID in the federal address register - source: Layer ID (ch.swisstopo.amtliches-gebaeudeadressverzeichnis)

Find the nearest official Swiss addresses for given GPS coordinates.

Uses the federal building address register (amtliches Gebäudeadressverzeichnis) to identify the nearest registered building addresses to any point in Switzerland.

Returns official GWR (Gebäude- und Wohnungsregister) data including:

• EGID (Eidgenössischer Gebäudeidentifikator) – unique federal building ID

• EGAID (Eidgenössischer Adressidentifikator) – unique federal address ID

• Building category (residential / non-residential)

• Official address status

Especially useful for enriching mobility data: finding the exact legal address of a charging station, Park & Rail facility, or sharing station.

Phase 4 tool – no API key required! Data source: geo.admin.ch / swisstopo amtliches Gebäudeadressverzeichnis (GWR).

Returns: JSON with nearest official addresses including EGID/EGAID identifiers, municipality data, and building category.

Classify roads at a location using the official Swiss topographic road network (swissTLM3D).

The swissTLM3D is the authoritative federal road network dataset from swisstopo. It classifies every road in Switzerland by:

Road type (Objektart): 🛣️ Autobahn · 🚗 Hauptstrasse · 🏘️ Nebenstrasse · 🚶 Weg/Pfad …

Functional class (Verkehrsbedeutung): Hauptverbindungsstrasse · Verbindungsstrasse · Sammelstrasse · Zufahrtstrasse

Surface (Belagsart): Hartbelag (Asphalt/Beton) · Weich-/Naturbelag

Ownership (Eigentümer): Bund · Kanton · Gemeinde · Privat

Access restriction (Verkehrsbeschränkung): Keine Beschränkung · Einsatzkräfte · Landwirtschaft · Fussgänger und Radfahrer · Kein öffentlicher Verkehr …

Use cases:

• «Is this a motorway or a local road?»

• «Who maintains this road – canton or municipality?»

• Enriching traffic counter data with official road classification

Phase 4 tool – no API key required! Data source: geo.admin.ch / swisstopo swissTLM3D Strassen.

Returns: JSON with road segments at the location, each containing: - road_name: Official road name (if assigned) - road_type: {code, label_de, label_en, emoji, network_importance} - surface, functional_class, ownership, access_restriction Plus a type_summary overview.
