Ericsson – Route Information from a Central Route Planner #SWI1999
We present a discussion of a problem posed by researchers of the company Ericsson, namely, to estimate the fraction of the road users in a road network that must participate in a central route planning scheme such that travel time predictions improve significantly. A road user who participates is expected to inform the central route planner of his intentions to travel from an origin to a destination and is expected to travel along the route advised by the planner.
The aim of this work is to derive a measure of travel time performance depending on the number of road users who are participating in the central route planner. The approach is mainly of a statistical nature.
