Description

This paper presents Mobile Traffic (M-Traffic), a multiplat- form online traffic information system, which provides real time traffic information based on image processing, sensor’s data and traveller be- haviour models. In order to estimate route delay and feed the optimal routing algorithm a traffic microscopic simulation model is developed and simulation results are presented. This mobile information service ubiqui- tously provides users with traffic information regarding their needs and preferences, according to an alert system, which allows a personalised pre-definition of warning messages.
