# Passage confirmation

**Car passage and footfall as a location characteristic** is calculated by identifying **visible** (and thus **relevant**) **road segments** for locations. This identification is automatically done when locations are added or uploaded to the applications. We refer to this as the **passage configuration of a location**.

Since this initial identification is the result of an algorithm and, hence, cannot possibly take the local context and specificity into account the identification is flagged by default as ***unconfirmed***.

Platform users have the possibility to **inspect the default (and thus unconfirmed) passage configuration**, validate or update it, and finally confirm it. After doing so the passage configuration of a location will be flagged as ***confirmed***.
