Abstract

This paper reports on the application of dynamic traffic modelling techniques for the estimation of traffic conditions in a real-world context. Within the R&D MOBINET project, a real-time system is currently under development for the dynamic estimation of traffic conditions on the very large network of the Munich metropolitan area. Estimated traffic conditions are used by transportation management operators and transmitted to private information providers. The paper describes the challenges identified within the development process, mostly of practical nature, and the solutions adopted so far to address them
