Summary

This book contains twelve selected papers presented at the International Workshop on Traffic Data Collection and its Standardization held on September 8-9th 2008 in Barcelona. Organized and chaired by Barcelo and Kuwahara, the workshop was intended to examine the purposes and quality of data and how it is collected and used in traffic analysis, with the overall intent of improving and standardizing the practice.Traffic data is the cornerstone to everything from the most classical traffic control analysis to the most advanced real-time control and management implementing modern Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. These applications are primarily based on the availability of traffic data supplied by a Data Collection System which, equipped with more or less sophisticated technologies, provides measurements on the fundamental traffic variables, ideally with the required level of temporal aggregation, and perhaps, when the technology allows it, additional measurements on other variables of interest, depending on the type of application in which they will be used. The applications are in turn supported by models, and in fact the primary use of the data is to provide the input to traffic models whose quality depends on the quality, consistency, robustness, completion and other characteristics of the data.The main papers presented at the workshop dealt with which kind of data are available and under what conditions,what kind of data are needed foronline applicationsmodel calibration/validation safety analysis data source reliabilityhow standardization can accelerate developments in the field, and how traffic data can be accessed more easilyThe papers presented, from which the final twelve were chosen:Calibrating the Fundamental Diagram in Congestion: Methods Based on Observations at Consecutive Loop-DetectorsNicolas Chiabaut, Ludovic Leclercq, Tiphaine Bretin, Christine BuissonUniversité de Lyon, INRETS / ENTPE, LICIT,A cost-effective Method for the Detection of Queue Lengths at Traffic LightsThorsten NeumannGerman Aerospace Center, Institute of Transportation Systems3.
