• 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.
