Motivation • Use of Floating Car Data (FCD) to assess “traffic” • Floating car data? • basic vehicle telemetry, e.g., speed, direction, ABS use • the position of the vehicle ( tracking data) • GPS tracking • Traffic assessment • data from one vehicle as a sample to assess overall traffic conditions – cork swimming in the river • large amounts of tracking data (e.g., taxis, public transport, utility vehicles, private vehicles) accurate picture of the traffic conditions • >>>cheap data source<<<
Motivation • Travel time fluctuation in road network • Live assessment • deriving travel times from FCD (tracking data) • one vehicle one route • many vehicles (good) coverage of the entire road network • Historic data • collections of FCD to derive trends • complement live data
The Project Goal To build a Web-based platform that 1) enables “people” to contribute their “tracking”data in the “simplest” possible way and 2) based on the collected tracking data, provides basic, value-added services (API) serving as building blocks for rich(er) services.
Public data collection and dissemination site Web services Data collection Data dissemination travel time maps travel time assessment travel time prediction building blocks for richer applications/services System Overview
Data Scenario • GPS vehicle tracking data • large variety of vehicles • vehicle fleets, e.g., taxis, school buses, delivery trucks, • indiv. vehicles • Real-time data • Berlin, Vienna, and Athens Berlin Vienna Athens
Data Scenario • Definition of a data model for FCD (tracking data) • rely on existing standards (KML, geoRSS) • Creation of a data collection service for FCD • key aspect – simple set up for adding new FCD source to data mart • analysis of data provider expectations – encryption, type of connection
Data Pre-Processing • Map-matching algorithms • relating the GPS vehicle tracking data (FCD) to road network • compensates for measurement (GPS) and sampling error (30s) in the tracking data
Data Management • Computing link-based travel times • derivation of current and future travel times from collected • current and • historic travel time data • From route-based to road-based travel times • “distributing” travel times from routes (tracking data) to links in the road network • Inhomogeneous FCD problem • different types of vehicles producing data • making travel time data comparable
Services • FCD collection service • simplest possible way for new data providers to connect to the data mart • Value-added services to provide elementary building blocks of rich(er) services (API) • Travel time maps – visualization of travel time conditions • Travel-time assessment and prediction service - given a road network and time horizon provide (expected) travel times • Evaluation • integration with existing services – fleet management, routing, traffic-light switching
Platform • Integrating data management and servicesinto a single platform • Web+Map interface based on the Cruiser platform
