Abstract

Real-time traffic information service is an important part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and the performance of service is a major concern to transportation planners and road users. For users, getting sufficient and complete traffic information is helpful for them to arrange optimal road path before heading. This paper describes some traffic prediction technologies deployed in Taiwan, such as vehicle detector (VD), GPS-based vehicle probe (GVP) and cellular floating vehicle probe (CFVP), and each of them has different intended purposes. Through data fusion to analyze and regularize traffic information from various traffic prediction technologies, it makes the incomplete information converting into systematic and useful traffic information.

Researcher of Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) since 2007.
