[](https://developers.google.com/static/feeds/roads-management-insights-release-notes.xml) See the [Overview](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/overview.md.txt) documentation for information on how to get started using Roads Management Insights. ## October 26, 2026 Feature **Support for fixed routes and route closure metadata**: - Added the [`dynamicRouting`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/reference/rest/v1/selection.v1.projects.selectedRoutes.md.txt#SelectedRoute.FIELDS.dynamic_routing) boolean field to the [`SelectedRoute`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/reference/rest/v1/selection.v1.projects.selectedRoutes.md.txt#SelectedRoute) resource in the Roads Selection API to configure whether a route is fixed (`false`, the default) or dynamic (`true`). Fixed routes maintain a consistent route geometry across routes data accumulation, and `dynamicRouting` can be updated using the [`patch`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/roads-selection/update.md.txt#update) and [`batchUpdate`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/roads-selection/update.md.txt#batch) endpoints. - Added `dynamic_routing`, `origin`, `destination`, `intermediates`, `static_route_geometry`, and `road_segment_ids` fields to the [`routes_status`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/accumulated-data.md.txt#routes_status_table) BigQuery table. - Added the `has_road_closure` boolean field to the [`historical_travel_time`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/accumulated-data.md.txt#historical_travel_time_table) and [`recent_roads_data`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/accumulated-data.md.txt#recent_roads_data_table) BigQuery tables, and to the [`RoadsInformation`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/real-time-data.md.txt#travel_duration_and_speed_reading_intervals_schema) real-time Pub/Sub message. ## October 21, 2026 Feature The [`selectedRouteId`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/roads-management-insights/reference/rest/v1/selection.v1.projects.selectedRoutes/create.md.txt#query-parameters) field in the Roads Selection API also supports underscores (`_`) along with `a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`, and `-` as valid characters. ## October 08, 2026 Announcement **Updates to real-time traffic information data formats and schema**: You should migrate to the new fields before January 13, 2027, to ensure uninterrupted service. - Replaced the `speed_reading_intervals` field with a `speed_reading_offsets` field in both real-time Pub/Sub messages and the `recent_roads_data` BigQuery table. The new field records speed readings based on the offset in meters from the start of the route (for example, "start_offset:0, end_offset:50, speed:`NORMAL`", "start_offset:50, end_offset:80, speed:`TRAFFIC_JAM`"). - Introduced a fourth speed reading bucket, `TRAFFIC_JAM_HEAVY`, within the new `speed_reading_offsets` field. The speed readings align with the four colors shown in the Google Maps traffic layer. - Added a new `retrieval_timestamp` field to real-time Pub/Sub messages, formatted as an RFC 3339 string, enabling native BigQuery `TIMESTAMP` auto-casting for customer subscriptions. This will replace the current `retrieval_time` field. - Converted the nested `travel_duration` field in real-time Pub/Sub messages to two separate fields (`duration_in_seconds` and `static_duration_in_seconds`), to be consistent with the BigQuery schema. These fields will replace the current `travel_duration` field. - Both the new and old fields will be populated until the deprecation of the current fields. ## September 09, 2026 Feature Added support for the `patch`, `batchUpdate` and `batchDelete` endpoints in the Road Selection API. Developers can now update or delete `SelectedRoute` resources either individually or in batches of up to 1,000 at a time. ## June 18, 2026 Feature Introduced Google road segment IDs (represented as Place IDs) for Roads Management Insights historical and real-time route traffic data. Specifically, a new `road_segment_ids` field is added as a repeated string field into the following locations: - **Historical Data** : `historical_travel_time` and `recent_roads_data` tables in your BigQuery dataset. - **Real-Time Data** : Pub/Sub topics (`rmi-roadsinformation-*`). ## March 16, 2026 Feature General Availability of IAM Roles. Fixed Resolved rounded `duration_in_seconds` discrepancy. What used to be rounded to an integer is now returned as a granular floating point value. ## August 24, 2025 Announcement Roads Management Insights, a new geospatial analytics product, is now generally available. Roads Management Insights gives you the data to take decisive action to improve safety, cut congestion, and build a more efficient future. With Roads Management Insights you can: - Pinpoint congestion hotspots and understand traffic flow. - Track key performance indicators to continuously monitor network health. - Identify and prioritize infrastructure projects for maximum community impact.
