(2) Stochastic Time-Dependent Link Travel Times of the
Network Calibrated by Historical Floating Car Data. Floating
car data (FCD) collection system is a new traffic detection
technology in recent years, which uses the position data
transmitting from on-board GPS equipment in regular interval,
to compute the traffic parameters of speed and travel
time and so forth and get the real-time traffic condition
of the network. Compared with fixed-point traffic detector
like inductive loop and microware radar, it is advantageous
in wide coverage, high efficiency, and low operation
cost.
