Towards a scalable environment for traffic information services

Providers of traffic information services face the challenge of an ever growing volume of traffic data. To use this traffic data to discover useful information about trends in traffic congestion an approach is required that can handle this volume. We have explored the enterprise architecture of such a provider of traffic information services to identify areas of improvement. These improvements lead to a more scalable environment where the traffic data can be analysed. To demonstrate the outcome of these improvements, a new information service is created in the form of an information dashboard, where behaviour of traffic congestion can be studied.
