Abstract
A method for generating data regarding closure of a stretch of navigable elements, includes: identifying source navigable elements and destination navigable elements in a region around the stretch; generating traffic flow indicators, each being based on a comparison of a reference measure and a closure measure. The reference measure indicates a number of first journeys relative to a number of second journeys during a reference period. The closure measure indicates a number of first journeys relative to a number of second journeys during a test period. Each first journey includes movement of a respective client from a respective source navigable element to a navigable element of the stretch and then to a respective destination navigable element. Each second journey includes movement of a respective client from a respective source navigable element to a respective destination navigable element without a stretch navigable element. The data is generated based on the indicators.
