Historical traffic model and its help in the development of urban mobility

Abstract

the paper explains the essence of creating a historical traffic model and its application in the actual development of mobility and intelligent transport systems in cities. It focuses on the process of creating and maintaining such a model and presents the method of its construction. The developed method is demonstrated on a practical example from the city of Prague based on data from section detectors, including examples from the model calibration process. The purpose of the paper is to convey a broader awareness of how to easily and effectively capture the amount of traffic data that we often have today, and use it to benefit the functioning of traffic and cities.
