A Probe Car System for Beijing

This paper introduces a probe car system developed and tested for Beijing City in China, which is based on GPS data of buses running on roads and provides the traffic information to users. In the traffic information center, the system matches the bus location data on the map of Beijing, calculates the average running speed and travel time on road links, and distributes the traffic information to the public via Internet. Based on it, users can search suitable routes for traveling in the city.
