AbsWd-In this project a system for realtime airborne areal traffic monitoring has b e n designed. implemented and demonstrated in Berlin.The system encompnues the following steps: image and attitude recording aboard an aircraft, image preprocessing and transfer to ground, further image processing for extracting the traffic data and aggregation of traffic data and their input into newly developed simulation and prognosis tools to close the gaps between overtlights. The system is completed by an open interface to service companies that support end nsen with traffic information and recommendations.The technological challenges were on the software side the development of appropriate fast image processing methods and new traffic simulation and prognosis tools and on the hardware side the integration of all components and subsystems to a working complete system. A major aim of the project was the comparison of the new approach with established methods of traffie monitoring w.r.t accuracy and effieiancy.For validating the complete LUMOS concept and its implcmrntstion a flight campaign wps prrfwmrd by the DLRlnstihlle of Transport Research and the other project partners in the area of Berlin in May 2003.First resultr ofcomparison of airborne and conventional traffic measurements are presented in this paper.Besides DLR, the following partner collaborate within
