Abstract:
In this project, University of Florida researchers

collected field data along several highways to

evaluate travel time measurements from several

sources: STEWARD, BlueTOAD, INRIX, and HERE.

STEWARD (Statewide Transportation Engineering

Warehouse for Archived Regional Data) is a central

repository maintained by the Florida Department

of Transportation (FDOT), which collects data from

FDOT Traffic Management Centers. STEWARD’s flow

and speed data can provide travel times based on

spot measurements. BlueTOAD (Bluetooth Travel-time Origination and Destination) is technology

that detects anonymous Bluetooth signals from

passing vehicles; detection of the same signal by

two widely spaced BlueTOAD units can be used

to obtain travel times. INRIX is a company that

collects traffic information worldwide as the

basis for a number of applications related to road

travel; INRIX can provide real-time or archived

travel time data. HERE, formerly NAVTEQ, is a

product of the communications company Nokia;

HERE brings together a number of mapping

services, including data collection services. HERE

data include real-time data from GPS, smart

phones, and consumer and commercial sources,

using proprietary methods to derive information,

including travel times.
