Abstract

Keywords: traffic, GPS, data acquisition, software tool, CAD programming.

As the traffic volumes are increasing every day, collecting data about traffic is more and more difficult, and requires much expensive equipment. This paper presents a method and a tool for collecting these data based on cheap GPS devices. The GPS devices are currently used for navigation and monitoring vehicle position, and they can be used also to collect points and record tracks, and the data can be converted in information about the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle.
