Using Cellular Network for Inner-Suburban Freeway Traffic Monitoring

Abstract

With the increase in population and rapid urban sprawl in the major big cities in China, traffic monitoring in the inner-suburban areas is becoming an urgent problem to be solved. This paper proposes using cellular network for innersuburban freeway traffic monitoring. Backgrounds of cellular network and wireless location technologies are firstly introduced. Related works including simulation tests and field tests are reviewed. Opportunities and challenges of using cellular network for inner-suburban freeway traffic monitoring are finally discussed.

A Compute Method of Road Travel Speed based on Mobile Phone Handover Location

“…Obtaining traffic information from mobile phone location data is concerned by related research institutes in recent years owing to the fast data acquisition, low cost and high coverage of this technology [1,2]. Both theoretical study and field test are carried out, and the result is different depend on the way of positioning and their method [3,4].…”
