Travel time is one of the largest categories of transport costs. Recent developments within the Bluetooth technology, widespread use of mobile phones, and in-vehicle navigation systems provided the opportunity to obtain travel time information within minimal cost. Although the alternative sources of travel time have emerged into the market since 2007, little independent assessment of them has been conducted and they have not been formally directly compared to the existing methodologies employed. This study can provide decision makers with a better understanding of which methodologies might be valuable for deployment as part of future Travel Time Studies. This is one of the most interesting projects that CIMA+ is involved in, which help the organization to develop the knowledge in projects related to the travel time studies.
