The Singapore Traffic Information Platform (TRIP) was developed in 2008 under a technical collaboration between the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA) and Quantum Inventions (QI) to provide consumers, enterprises and system vendors with real-time traffic information that could be directly used for dynamic route guidance applications. Since its deployment in 2009, the outputs from TRIP have been used to power various traffic information services for consumers, including a real-time RDS-TMC service. More recently, traffic intelligence applications have been developed and deployed to use the processed traffic information from TRIP for operations and planning. In this paper, we present one such application – a system that used real-time traffic information for estimation of travel time for buses plying between venues where major sporting events were being held over a 2-week period in August 2010. We also highlight the key challenges faced.
