Abstract:

This paper describes an application of a new system-wide data collection to a large scale project. The problem is to identify and estimate spatio-temporal congestion characteristics and provide this information to assess congestion pricing schemes. The methodology is based on passive data collection obtained from a cellular phone provider. The nature and coverage of the system allows the estimation of travel time and traffic volumes within reasonable accuracy. The paper focuses on the estimation of man-hours lost due to congestion in the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. A total of 2,042 men-years is estimated to be lost due to congestion in a single month (March 2007).
