This means that VII probe data can be processed to produce useful information about the operation of an arterial roadway based on studies using a traffic microsimulation. Simulation provides a “truth model” representation of all vehicle trajectories, which serves as the basis for comparison with probe data sampling strategies under development in the VII program. Modifications to the probe data sampling strategies are suggested to enhance the quality of the data, especially its timeliness. Applications to weather condition detection, incident detection, and real-time adaptive traffic signal control, each with significantly different data requirements, were considered, and the ability of the probe sampling system to support these applications was evaluated. The least-demanding applications, such as weather condition detection, can be served well even at low market penetrations of VII-capable vehicles, but the most demanding applications (real-time adaptive signal control) appear to require the majority of vehicles to be equipped. Recommendations were defined for additional research needed to support the development and deployment of a viable VII traffic probe data system.
