TravTime

 

Version 2.0
Released Summer 2009

 


TravTime™ 2.0 delivers an innovative, powerful, and cost-effective approach for processing GPS data for:  
  • Travel time and delay studies
  • Before / after studies
  • System performance evaluations
  • Speed studies
  • Signal timing evaluations
  • Congestion Management Systems

The TravTime software system analyzes GPS data collected from probe vehicles carrying a GPS logging device, such as the GeoStats GeoLogger™.  Drivers do not need to interact with the GPS logger and require no specialized training.  Drivers simply follow pre-defined routes  and abide by traffic flow guidelines.  After the field data are collected, the second-by-second GPS data are downloaded to a PC and processed with TravTime.  Routes are marked in the software instead of in the field by the drivers.  

Replay GPS Data in a Mapping Environment

TravTime displays and re-enacts the GPS points using built-in maps and a GIS framework.  TravTime supports the popular ESRI Shapefile GIS data format and many image formats.  Managers can validate data collection runs and interactively define route and key intersection locations.

Analyze and Export Data

TravTime summarizes the GPS data into information by run, route, and road segment.  Tables, charts, and GIS data are generated that can be printed and exported to other software packages, including Microsoft Word and Excel, ESRI ArcMap and Google Earth.

Case Studies

Sandy Springs, a suburban city located outside of Atlanta, Georgia, undertook a signal timing effort to improve traffic congestion.  The city used GeoStats' TravTime software to quantify delays and to measure the benefits of the signal timing improvements.  Read more.

The Chattanooga Hamilton County North Georgia Authority (CHCNGA) used GeoStats' TravTime software for a travel time study along predefined Congestion Management System (CMS) routes. The study was done to support congestion-related planning, including air quality analysis, an annual congestion management agency (CMA) update, and travel demand modeling data needs.  Read more.

Data and License Details

TravTime 2.0 accepts data from the GeoStats GeoLogger, from any GPS logging device that can output NMEA files, and  from delimited plain-text files.  TravTime includes a raster-based reference map by default.  Users can also add their own GIS layers and geo-referenced images.   TravTime supports a wide range of raster formats, including GeoTIFF, GeoPNG, GeoBMP, GeoJPG, ECW, JPEG2000, GIF, MrSid, ERDAS, and others.
