                         to gain insights and discover relationships about vehicles 
                         dynamics. The implementation of traffic monitoring systems, 
                         however, requires a considerable amount of investment in equipment 
                         and qualified personnel to simply get data. Investments are even 
                         greater when it is necessary to process and analyze the data and 
                         produce information that supports operational measures, public 
                         policies, and investments in infrastructure. Aiming at 
                         facilitating and reducing the cost of collecting information about 
                         traffic flows, this paper presents a methodology to monitor any 
                         area of the road network based on information gathered from free 
                         internet services. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the 
                         quality of the data obtained through Web mapping services when 
                         compared with data obtained from active radars installed along the 
                         route. Experimental results show that there are small 
                         discrepancies and low latency between these data and that the 
                         information about the traffic gathered from web mapping services 
                         can be considered as a data source for any application that does 
                         not demand high levels of accuracy.",
