| Summary | This project employed the technology of probe car with surveying equipments of global positioning system (GPS) for manually recording travel time and travel speed data of all national highways (freeways), provincial highways (expressways included), county highways, and also the connectors of freeway/expressway interchanges which were completed before October 2004. The total length of the surveying routes is about 10,300 kilometers. The survey rounds were six for each highway (two-way included), and the survey time period was classified into three types based on traffic and highway characteristics of each highway as the following: The weekday peak-hour period of metropolitan area: The total survey rounds of each highway were six of the morning and afternoon peak-hour. The weekday off-peak period of suburban area: The total survey rounds of each highway were six during the off-peak period. The holiday period of the scenic spot highway and the intercity long-distance highway: The total survey rounds of each highway were six. In addition to the results of travel speed statistical analysis, the survey results were transformed into GIS database, which could be used to perform the analysis of equal travel time contours, speed classification, shortest path, and travel time between any two nodes. Also the database was used to update the link database of the Traffic Road Network Digital Atlas of IOT. |
