Aleksandrina Kovacheva, Raphaël Frank, Thomas Engel · 2013
The following paper provides a complete overview of LuxTraffic, an online system for collaborative traffic sensing in Luxembourg. LuxTraffic has been created to gather, analyze and archive anonymous user generated traffic data by taking advantage of the communication capabilities and the built-in GPS receiver of smartphone devices. We motivate the necessity and benefits of such a system, reveal the core functionalities as well as the technical details behind its realization. Next, we continue with a statistical evaluation about the system usage. We conclude by discussing the the pros and cons of such a system and propose future works.
