How to construct ra-tm traffc nformaton systms of ITS s mor and mor mportant. Ra-tm traffc nformaton such as avrag vhc spd trav tm traffc fow and traffc congston can rfrncd y road usrs and th mnstry of transportaton to mprov th v of srvc for roadways. Thrfor many xstng rsarch artcs hav n don to mprov traffc nformaton srvc. Th rcnt rsarch artcs ndcat that th mthods of coctng ra-tm traffc nformaton can dvdd nto thr ways: Vhc Dtctor (VD) Goa Poston Systm (GPS)-asd pro car rportng and Cuar Foatng Vhc Data (CFVD). Traffc nformaton has tradtonay n gathrd y puc agncs (Dpartmnts of Transportaton) va statonary VDs nstad n th roadways. Tradtonay th VDs ar dpoyd on major roadways to dtct th avrag vhc spd and traffc fow. Howvr t s qut costy to nsta and mantan such dvcs.

For xamp ITIS Hodngs whch s a adng Europan traffc nformaton company appd th patntd CFVD tchnoogy for masurng and forcastng ra-tm traffc nformaton asd on anonymousy sampng th postons of MSs (Loggh & Marvot 2007). Thrfor FVD s cost-ffctv mmdat and asy to mantan. As th numr of pop ownng c phons has ncrasd usng MS as a pro for otanng traffc nformaton s fas. To mantan th quaty of srvc cuar ntworks hav rgorous managmnt procsss to kp track of th movmnt of MSs. Th contro sgna vnts ar trggrd through moty managmnt from cuar ntworks such as Locaton pdat (L). By groupd cs Locaton Aras (LAs) can dfnd to dscr hgh v ocatons nformaton of MSs. Whn a MS movs from on LA to anothr a NL vnt s trggrd to nform cuar ntwork th MS s atst LA nformaton through a spcfc c. Th mssag contnt conssts of MS ID (.. Intrnatona Mo Suscrr Idntty (IMSI)) LA dntfr (LAI) C Idntty (CI) tmstamp and th updat rason. For nstanc Cacrs t a. us ocaton updat vnts as a vrtua traffc countr to montor th passag through two LAs for phons so as to masurng traffc fow (Cacrs t a. 2007; Cacrs t a. 2008). Morovr som studs anayzd th raton twn th amount of cuar cas and traffc dnsty. A study dvopd y INRETS dtctd th chang of ca voum and ratd t to th occurrnc of ncdnts (Ygnac 200).

Whn th MS movs from a c to anothr durng a ca th on-gong ca s handd ovr to th nw BS. For xamp an MS (Fgur 2 (a)) movng aong a road maks or rcvs a phon ca through th BS of C at tm t 0. Whn th MS ntrs C 2 at t t xcuts th handovr procdur to swtch th voc conncton from C to C 2. Fgur. 2.

Thrfor from th two conscutv handovr vnts dpctd n Fgur 2 ths study otans handovr par (C C 2 ) for th frst handovr at tm t and (C 2 C 3 ) for th scond handovr at tm t 2. If ths study can map handovr par (C C 2 ) to ocaton L and handovr par (C 2 C 3 ) to ocaton L 2 thn d ( L L2 ) ths study can comput th spd of th MS as u n th prod [t t 2 ] whr d( L L2 ) dnots t t th dstanc twn L and L 2. In gnra a handovr occurs n a sma ara whch s rfrrd to as a handovr ara n th oundary ara ovrappd y th two cs (s Fgur 2 ()). In practc th handovr ocatons on a roadway can masurd y an MS havng an on-gong ca on a movng vhc quppd wth a GPS rcvr. As th vhc movs aong th roadway and th MS s handd ovr from on c to anothr snc th tm s rcordd whn a handovr occurs th handovr ocaton can otand from th GPS rcvr. Snc th handovr twn C and C + do not occur at an xact ocaton ut n a sma ara ths study can conduct a numr of poston masurmnts and us th avrag as th poston of L. Th covrag ara of a handovr ara may too arg such that thr s unaccpta dscrpancy twn th CFVD spds otand from th handovr ara and th actua vhc spds. In ths cas ths handovr ara cannot usd for CFVD spd stmaton. In gnra th two handovr vnts usd for CFVD spd stmaton nd not conscutv; any two handovr vnts of an MS can usd. Two far-apart handovr vnts can usd to otan vhc spd rports wth hghr accuracy snc th ffct of handovr ocaton naccuracy s ssnd y th argr dstanc twn th two handovrs. 2 2..2 An Anaytc Mod for Spd Rport Rat Ths scton proposs an anaytc mod to nvstgat how oftn spd rports can gnratd from CFVD undr stady traffc condtons.. how oftn two conscutv handovrs occur.
