Abstract
In this contribution we address the problem of using cellular network signaling for inferring real-time road traffic information. We survey and categorize the approaches that have been proposed in the literature for a cellular-based road monitoring system and identify advantages and limitations. We outline a unified framework that encompasses UMTS and GPRS data collection in addition to GSM, and prospectively combines passive and active monitoring techniques. We identify the main research challenges that must be faced in designing and implementing such an intelligent road traffic estimation system via third-generation cellular networks.Keywords
