Stauomat is a German traffic information service focused on the country’s federal motorways. It brings together live reports of traffic jams, slow-moving traffic, road closures, warnings and roadworks, using official data from Autobahn GmbH and the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt). Rather than presenting itself as a general traffic aggregator, Stauomat organizes information by individual routes and offers several ways to explore it.

Visitors can use an interactive map with filters and report details, or view incidents near a chosen location within a radius of 5 to 100 kilometres. The site also provides weekly traffic-pattern heatmaps for 92 routes across 40 motorways, showing typical busy and quieter periods by direction. These patterns are based on more than 14,000 BASt hourly observations and at least 12 months of historical data. Stauomat emphasizes that its heatmaps represent traffic volume, not confirmed congestion. The service includes motorway directories, route pages and methodology information, and promotes an iPhone app for accessing live traffic conditions.
