Abstract

With the implementation of the ITS Directive (2010/40/EU) concerning the pan European travel and traffic information services the quality of the service and underlying data becomes an issue. There is a number of different approaches how to assess the quality of data and of a service, each with its particular benefits, however together the approaches are not implementable and alone do not cover all the specifics of the traffic information. The paper deals with an incremental implementation of traffic information service quality measures, focusing, in the first step, only on directly measureable technical and editorial aspects of the data and a service quality. These aspects are measured and tested on the real world example and the results, its impacts on quality improvement, are discussed.
