GPS data sets of several vehicles on the road are obtained via wireless network, from which specific sections of data are picked up by filtering algorithm. Then, a variety of fusion algorithms are applied to the several sets of specific sections of data to remove the error data, to guarantee the veracity of the fused result. On the basis of valid data, traffic conditions of this section can be acquired through the smart identification algorithm, which will provide the real-time traffic information. The method presented in this paper is simple and reliable. With good performance on the experimental data, it opens a new door for information collection of urban road.
