Automatic congestion detection and visualization using networked GPS unit data

ABSTRACT

The goal of this work is to explore systems for the automatic determination of vehicle traffic congestion using GPS-enabled networked mobile phones. A location based data set is collected and analyzed. Additionally, sample filtering and route matching approaches are considered.
