An Evaluation Method for Floating Car Data (FCD) System

Floating car data (FCD), also called probe vehicle (PV) system is based on a certain percentage of all vehicles equipped with global positioning system (GPS) and data communication device in traffic. The link travel status can be estimated using these sample data. In this paper, an evaluation and analysis method for FCD system in Ningbo was introduced. The original GPS data was analyzed including PV-GPS data coverage, average PV number of covered links. The obtained traffic state information was validated with test drives of independent vehicles driving on a loop route with many intersections. A valuable conclusion is mentioned at the paper.
