The traffic conditions of the arterial routes in addition to the whole network are vital monitoring criteria for the traffic management center in order to efficiently guide and administer the traffic networks. The main objective of this work is to establish a general methodology to identify different traffic conditions in the traffic network using intelligent probe vehicles. For this purpose we u tilized Internet Protocol probe cars (IPCar) in Yokohama and Nagoya cities. Yokohama and Nagoya IPCar projects use different type of vehicles consisting of taxis and buses.
