Abstract

The management of urban traffic systems demands information for the real-time control of traffic flows as well as for strategic traffic management. In this context, state-of-the-art traffic information systems are mainly used to control varying traffic flows and to provide collective and individual information about the current traffic situation. However, the provision of information for strategic traffic management as well as for traffic demand dependent planning activities (e.g., in city logistics) is still a potential field of research due to the former lack of reliable city-wide traffic information. Recently, historical traffic data arising from telematics-based data sources provided information for time-dependent route planning, for the improvement of traffic flow models as well as for spatial and time-dependent forecasts. In this chapter, we focus on the analysis of historical traffic data, which serves as a background for sophisticated real-time applications.
