Traffic Cameras and Digital Services – Your Questions, Our Answers
Whether for traffic monitoring, traffic information, or support for digital services – various camera systems are used along motorways and expressways.

Below, we answer frequently asked questions about their functions, data processing, and the use of our digital services, such as the ASFINAG app.

All questions - Traffic information services

Webcams stream live images to help assess traffic volumes and weather conditions. These images are publicly accessible (asfinag.at/webcams). However, the video data is not stored and no number plates or personal data are captured.

Tunnel cameras also provide live images, but they are not publicly accessible. The video data is stored for up to 72 hours. After that, it is automatically deleted.

Of course, we comply with all relevant data protection regulations (asfinag.at/privacy).

ASFINAG stores video data only under specific conditions and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

  • Cameras in open areas (webcams): transmit live images only, without storing them.

  • Cameras at service areas: store video data for up to 48 hours.

  • Cameras in tunnels: store video data for up to 72 hours. Storage is solely for reconstructing safety-relevant incidents. It is ensured that neither number plates nor individuals are identifiable.

We continuously produce up-to-date traffic information and supply it to external providers such as radio stations, map services and vehicle driver‑assistance systems. Whether and when those providers publish the information is decided by each individual provider.
