Observation system and method for congestion level based on traffic density

摘要

The present invention relates to a traffic congestion-based road congestion estimation system and method thereof, and more particularly, to a road congestion estimating system for collecting traffic density using a probe vehicle and estimating a road congestion degree of the road network based on the collected traffic density To a congestion estimation system and method therefor.According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a traffic density collecting apparatus mounted on a probe vehicle, the traffic density collecting apparatus collecting traffic density by detecting nearby vehicles while the probe vehicle is traveling to calculate a road congestion degree of the road network, The traffic congestion degree of the road network is estimated by reflecting the traffic density collected from the probe vehicles. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the road congestion degree of the road network by reflecting the traffic density collected from the probe vehicles, can do.;
