Due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and in-dash navigation equipment, traffic data gathered by mobile devices has grown in popularity as a basis for predicting traffic conditions. Mobile devices submit location information to a central server, where future traffic conditions are computed. Because this type of system would be expensive to test with real drivers, algorithms for road traffic prediction are often evaluated according to the outcomes of simulations. These simulations…

TLDR
The paper introduces cellular automaton-based simulation model, TSF Model, inspired by well-known Nagel-Schreckenberg Model for simulating vehicular traffic on highways.
Continuous Predictive Line Queries for On-the-Go Traffic Estimation
TLDR
A traffic prediction approach by defining and solving a novel continuous predictive line query that aims to accurately estimate traffic conditions in the near future based on current movement of vehicles on the roads, and continuously update the predicted traffic conditions as vehicles move.
A Framework for Generating Network-Based Moving Objects
TLDR
In this paper, the most important properties of network-based moving objects are presented and discussed and a framework is proposed where the user can control the behavior of the generator by re-defining the functionality of selected object classes.
Recent Development and Applications of SUMO - Simulation of Urban MObility
TLDR
The current state of the SUMO package, its major applications, both by research topic and by example, as well as future developments and extensions are described.
VTrack: accurate, energy-aware road traffic delay estimation using mobile phones
TLDR
It is shown that VTrack can tolerate significant noise and outages in these location estimates, and still successfully identify delay-prone segments, and provide accurate enough delays for delay-aware routing algorithms.
Influence-Aware Predictive Density Queries Under Road-Network Constraints
TLDR
This paper formally model such influence between multiple density queries and proposes an efficient query algorithm and the results demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the approach.
MNTG: An Extensible Web-Based Traffic Generator
TLDR
Minnesota Traffic Generator (MNTG) is proposed; an extensible web-based road network traffic generator that overcomes the hurdles of using existing traffic generators and serves as a wrapper overexisting traffic generators, making them easy to use, configure, and run for any arbitrary spatial road region.
Optimizing Predictive Queries on Moving Objects under Road-Network Constraints
TLDR
A hybrid index structure is proposed, the RD-tree, which employs an R*-tree for network indexing and direction-based hash tables for managing vehicles and a ring-query-based algorithm is developed to answer the predictive line query.
Understanding mobility based on GPS data
TLDR
An approach based on supervised learning to infer people's motion modes from their GPS logs is proposed, which identifies a set of sophisticated features, which are more robust to traffic condition than those other researchers ever used.
CrowdITS: Crowdsourcing in intelligent transportation systems
TLDR
CrowdITS is proposed to fill the gap by the use of Crowdsourcing in ITS namely, CrowdITS, to integrate human inputs, with multiple information sources, aggregate and finally it is localized according to the driver's geo-location.
