Session Description
Traffic monitoring, planning, management and modelling all require information about traffic speeds, travel times and volumes. In the last few years new types of data have become available to replace traditional data such as inductive loop and camera measurements. One such data type is GPS (global positioning system) measurements from, for example, consumer navigation devices or fleet management systems. To what extent does (historical) GPS data provide a cost-effective alternative to more traditional sources? Is it an alternative or purely a complementary data source? For what kinds of traffic management applications can it be used? What are the current limitations of GPS data and what will the future bring? This session will focus on specific, recent use of GPS data for traffic management purposes to answer these questions.
