Potentials and Deficits of a recent Approach for urban Traffic Monitoring based on Floating Car Data

Recently, the author proposed a new approach how to take advantage of common floating car data in context of urban traffic monitoring (cf. Neumann, 2009: Efficient queue length detection at traffic signals using probe vehicle data and data fusion, 16th ITS World Congress, Stockholm). Treading an innovative path concerning the processing of observed vehicle positions, it provides a promising method for estimating queue lengths at signalized...
