Does anybody know a WFS link with up-to-date traffic information?

It can be anywhere in the world.

It has to be free of charge as I want to use it in a demo showing the WFS capabilities of FME.

Thanks for any help,

Erik Jan

If traffic is not available any other moving assets (ships, trains etc) will do for the demo too.

I've done a bit of googling, but that hasn't turned up anything useful that's truly open and free. This might be worth looking into: http://www.ns.nl/reisinformatie/ns-api but that's showing departure times, rather than train locations.

There's various ship- and plane-tracking sites, but they don't seem to offer a feed for free.

Maybe just get one of those cheap GPS trackers and let a colleague drive around for a bit during your demo?

Try AIS (Ships) and NextBus (Buses). It won't necessarily be a WFS service, but if you have access to FME Server then you could very easily turn one of these into a WFS feed and use it as a source.

Also look through the knowledge centre for realtime FME Server demos. There's one that uses content from San Francisco, with buses, planes, ships - I just don't know if it's WFS

@erik_jan - I was also pointed to this resource recently. It seems like it should be very helpful to you!
