Abstract

The volume of GPS data collected from moving vehicles has increased significantly over the last years. We have gone from GPS data being collected every few minutes to data being collected every second. With large quantities of GPS data available it is possible to analyze the traffic on most of the road network without installing road-side equipment. A very important key performance indicator (KPI) in traffic planning is travel time. For this reason, this paper describes how travel time can be computed from GPS data. Of particular interest is how the travel time is affected by the weather. The work presented here is an extension of previous work on computing accurate travel time from GPS data. In this paper, the logical data model is explained in more details and the result section showing weather’s impact on travel time has been significantly extended with previously unpublished material.
