Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of probe vehicle in providing traffic information (travel time) under various traffic conditions. Paramics V5 was used to generate travel time data on a hypothetical network. The number of probe vehicles on links and routes was determined through 'bootstrapping' technique and the performance was summarized in terms of accuracy of provided travel time. The results show that the increasing of probe vehicle percentage could somehow improve the prediction accuracy for travel time, however, this improvement is not significant as the increase of the number of probe vehicles is not linearly increased with the increase of traffic volume (up to highly congested network).
