The Czech Traffic Management Revolution – a golden opportunity for the exploitation of Big Data technology [via BDE-Smart, green and integrated transport Community Group]

One of the best parts of working on innovation projects is meeting inspiring
people who pursue ideas revolutionizing industries in ways that only a few years
ago seemed impossible.

What if you could create a precise, real-time map of the traffic on your
country’s roads and present it in a way anyone can understand?
Traffic management revolution seems apt.
Make way for the RODOS Transport Systems Development Centre, a platform of
professionals from academia, private companies as well as public administration
working in applied transport research with a specific focus on road transport
monitoring and control. In other words, they make it easier and faster for you
and I to get around, in the Czech Republic.

The centre uses three primary data sources: floating car data obtained from
three fleets, covering about 5% of the traffic flow; an electronic toll system
covering over 1000 km-s of motorways producing over 7 million transaction data
every day; and classic detector networks such as radars and cameras. All these
are fed into Salomon, a supercomputer that then analyses and interprets the
various data and produces information and insight of the nation’s roads.
