Abstract :
Road congestion and traffic-related pollution have a large, negative social and economic impact, and we believe many of these problems can be reduced through investment in monitoring, distribution and processing of traffic information. This paper outlines how our on-going work on the TIME project (transport information monitoring environment) provides a solution, using traffic sensor systems and the design and development of an open and decentralised software framework. We also discuss how we address the privacy and security implications of the increased use of sensors and data processing.
