摘要

A detailed representation of the traffic state in space and time allows us to analyze various aspects of traffic dynamics. However, since traffic data are only available for a small subset of locations and times, the full traffic state can only be reconstructed by spatiotemporal interpolation, which can be formulated in terms of a convolution integral. Since naive “isotropic” interpolation is inadequate for traffic data, we introduce a more refined interpolation method. This adaptive smoothing method yields a detailed and plausible reconstruction of the traffic state. Finally, we discuss the combination and weighting of multiple, heterogeneous data sources for estimating the traffic state (data fusion).
