Abstract
Traffic congestion occurs when traffic demand is greater than the available network capacity. It is characterized by lower vehicle speeds, increased travel times, arrival unreliability, and longer vehicular queueing. Congestion can also impose a negative impact on the society by decreasing the quality of life with increased pollution, especially in urban areas. To mitigate the congestion problem, traffic engineers and scientists need quality, comprehensive, and accurate data to estimate the state of traffic flow. Various types of data collection technologies have different advantages and disadvantages as well as data characteristics, such as accuracy, sampling frequency, and geospatial coverage. Multisource data fusion increases the accuracy and provides a comprehensive estimation of the performance of traffic flow on a road network. This paper presents a literature overview related to the estimation of congestion and prediction based on the data collected from multiple sources. An overview of data fusion methods and congestion indicators used in the literature for traffic state and congestion estimation is given. Results of these methods are analyzed, and a disseminative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of surveyed methods is presented.
