Traffic Open Data


For Analyzing and Modelling
Traffic Behavior and
Phenomenon

Diverse Scenario
We will gradually enrich the experimental scenes (periodic boundary, multi lanes, speed limit, merging and diverging, lane changes, ACC vehicle-general vehicle mixed traffic flow, etc.).
Pinpoint Accuracy
High-precision GPS devices are used to record the vehicle's position and speed every 0.1 seconds.The measurement errors of the GPS devices were within ± 1 m for location and within ± 1 km/h for velocity.
Open Source
Controlled traffic flow experiments can isolate the effects of various confounding factors, and gain a deeper understanding of traffic dynamics. Therefore, an open and shared traffic flow database will help to promote research in this field.

About Us


Traffic flow theory is a basic science that uses models to describe the interaction between vehicles (or non-motor vehicles/pedestrians) and road facilities and environment. Since Greenshields put forward the flow velocity relationship model in 1935, the traffic flow theory has a development history of more than 80 years. However, Due to the lack of data and the complex of traffic environment, the nature of traffic flow is still not clear.
We have conducted a series of field traffic flow experiments (including various platoon lengths and platoon speeds) to gain a deeper understanding of traffic dynamics by identifying the true origins of the puzzling traffic flow phenomena. A fruitful of researches have been published in Journals of Transportation Research Part-B, Part-C, IEEE-ITS. etc.
