Wednesday December 18th Lisa Priem graduated as a master of science in applied mathematics from Delft University of Technology. She did her research within the
ITS Edulab, a cooperation between Rijkswaterstaat and Delft University. Her research was about the use of data from the vehicle (the so-called uCAN data) to estimate the speed of the traffic on a location. Because uCAN data is not available in reality yet, she used simulation to show that about 30% of the vehicles should be equipped with a uCAN unit to get an accurate estimate of the speed. Accurate in the sense that it meets the requirements the
Dutch National Data Warehouse for Traffic Information has set. More information and the report can be found on this
internet page.
The International Syposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, held in Noordwijk from July 17-19, 2013, was a big succes. The world-leading scientists in traffic and transport presented the most remarkable new resuls of research over the past two years. These scientists are mainly interested in the theoretical aspects of their work. The attendence of TrafficQuest at this conference was relevant to take notice of these new findings and to bridge the gap to practice.
