Abstract

This paper specifies the overall structure of an on-line Dynamic Traffic Model System for an inter-urban motorway network. The model predicts traffic conditions on a motorway network in real time, and can be used to provide information on (expected) congestion to a motorway traffic control centre. The model receives traffic data such as traffic flow, average speed and average detector occupancy in real-time from a motorway monitoring system. Additionally, a database of historic traffic information will be used.
