Generating Traffic Data
Thomas Brinkhoff · 2003
Experimental investigations of spatiotemporal algorithms and data structures demand for generators that produce realistic data sets. Especially Location-Based Services (LBS) require the simulation of traffic. In this case, the data sets consist of objects that move within a given infrastructure. In this paper, two different approaches---the Network-based Generator and the City Simulator---are reviewed. Both generators for traffic data have a great deal in common, but are different in certain points. In addition, a short overview on projects using these generators is given.
