An ensemble Kalman filtering approach to highway traffic estimation using GPS enabled mobile devices

Abstract: Traffic state estimation is a challenging problem for the transportation community due to the limited deployment of sensing infrastructure. However, recent trends in the mobile phone industry suggest that GPS equipped devices will become standard in the next few years. Leveraging these GPS equipped devices as traffic sensors will fundamentally change the type and the quality of traffic data collected on large scales in the near future. New traffic models and data assimilation algorithms must be developed to ef… Show more

“…Projects such as Mobile Millennium [42], [20], CarTel [11], JamBayes [19], Nericell [30], and surface street estimation [16] use vehicle probe data collected from onboard GPS devices to reconstruct the state of traffic and to estimate the shortest travel time. This paper moves beyond this idea.…”

“…Several methods can be employed to estimate the travel time over a road segment. For instance, using vehicle probe data collected from onboard GPS devices to reconstruct the state of traffic is a well-studied topic [24], [42]. We use Greenshield's model [6] to estimate the travel time since it is extensively used in DTA models by transportation researchers.…”

“…Building reliable and cost-effective traffic monitoring systems is a prerequisite to addressing this phenomenon. Historically, the estimation of traffic congestion has been limited to highways, and has relied mostly on a static, dedicated sensing infrastructure such as loop detectors or cameras [41]. The estimation problem is more challenging in the case of the secondary road network, also called the arterial network, due to the cost of deploying a wide network of sensors in large metropolitan areas.…”

“…Although historical average speed computed from data is commonly used in different traffic-related problems (Gonzalez et al 2007;Li and McDonald 2002;Work et al 2008), to the best of our knowledge, most of the path inference algorithms assume constant legal speed limits according to road types and transportation modes (Chen and Bierlaire 2015;Hunter et al 2014;Lou et al 2009;Yuan et al 2010). In this study, we use average speed computed from historical speed data of a given road.…”
