Where are Real Time Traffic users?

Real Time Traffic is a "Floating Car Data" software for Android.

Floating car data (FCD) (also known as; Floating Cellular Data) is a method to determine the traffic speed on the road network. Real Time Traffic is based on the collection of localisation data, speed, direction of travel and time information from driving vehicles. Once agregated data are shown in Real Time Traffic over a Google Map.

These data are the essential source for traffic information and for most intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This means that every appropriately equipped vehicle acts as a sensor for the road network. Based on these data, traffic jams can be identified, travel times can be calculated, and traffic reports can be instantly generated. In contrast to traffic cameras, number plate recognition systems, and sensor loops embedded in the roadway, no additional hardware on the road network is necessary.

Different types are possible:

Floating Cellular Data = cellular network data-based (CDMA, GSM, UMTS, GPRS):

No special devices/hardware are necessary: every switched-on mobile phone becomes a traffic probe and is as such an anonymous source of information. The location of the mobile phone is determined using (1) triangulation or (2) the hand-over data stored by the network operator. As the localisation is less accurate than GPS based systems, lots of devices have to be tracked and complex algorithms need to be used to extract high-quality data (Care must be taken, for instance, not to misinterpret cellular phones on a high speed railway track parallel to the road as incredibly fast journeys along the road) . However, the more congestion, the more cars, the more phones and thus more probes. In metropolitan areas where traffic data are most needed the distance between antennas is lower and thus the accuracy increases.

• FCD based on mobile phones believe to have significant advantages over GPS-based or conventional methods such as cameras or street embedded sensors: No infrastructure or hardware is needed to be built in cars or along the road. It is much less expensive, offers more coverage of more streets, it is faster to set up (no work zones) and needs less maintenance.

Wireless signal extraction is a new term in the ITS industry. Wireless signal extraction (WiSE) is a technology that pulls or extracts data from a wireless carrier’s network, after the data have been anonymized. The data are then used to provide traffic information. The resultant information can be used to provide drivers with real-time traffic conditions, to build historical databases of traffic information for planning purposes, and to give emergency response agencies both historical snapshots and real-time conditions to aid in their evacuation and emergency response management. WiSE technology provides traffic information on highways and arterials, which is an advantage over other technologies. Another advantage of WiSE technology is that it does not rely on equipment that has to be installed and maintained, such as sensors. This term was initially used by AirSage to describe its technology. Electronic toll collection device data: ETC transponders, which are uniquely identifiable, may be read not only at toll collection points (e.g. toll bridges) but also at many non-toll locations. This is used as a method to collect traffic flow data (which is anonymized) for the San Francisco Bay area's 5-1-1 service.

• GPS-based: A small number of cars (typically cars driving in a fleet, such as courier services and taxi drivers) are equipped with a box that contains a GPS receiver. The datum are then communicated with the service provider using the regular on-board radio unit or, much more expensive, via cellular network data.
