Traffic conditions analysis based on an advanced traveller information system of Vilnius city

Abstract

As a subsystem of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), an Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS) disseminates real-time traffic information to travellers. To help travellers better make their route choice decisions, there is a strong need to predict traffic congestion and disseminate the predicted congestion information to travellers. This paper describes methodology used for optimal driven route calculation based on real time traffic data in Vilnius city WEB based application for drivers. The paper also discusses about traffic conditions and impacts when is closed one of the main Vilnius street. Furthermore, a comprehensive traffic modeling procedure is presented, which forecasts and computes very important traffic modeling indicators like driving time, driving downtime, driving distance, fuel consumption.
