  Abstract:
  Accurate network travel time estimation is today one of the most challenging problems in trac theory. The mainstream research on travel time estimation concentrates on the estimation of mean route travel time or some measures of travel time reliability (i.e. 10th and 90th percentiles). However, given the growing detail in travel time measurements it is also possible to estimate route travel time distributions. This serves a broader spectrum of applications and provides more useful information. For this goal, this research presents a method to calculate the travel time histogram of a route, based on link travel time observations. The aim of this new method is to allow the development of an advanced route planner that is able to optimize route choice reliability. The notion of reliability is dened by the end-user of the route planner and highly depends on the properties of the route travel time distribution. Central in the development of the route planner is the distinction between (cheap) o-line storage and computations and (expensive) on-line computations. For that it is important to minimize the on-line computational eort of calculating a route travel time histogram. The method described in this study can be deployed beyond route planning applications and the eld of trac management. Other applications can be for instance the location optimization of logistic hubs (i.e. airports, packaging services, . . . ) or public services (i.e. hospitals, re stations, . . . ) and the evaluation of network performance.
