Abstract
Where raw location data representing a position of the one or more mobile units is available, vehicular traffic data representing a position of one or more vehicles can be generated based on the raw location for the one or more mobile units. Such generation of vehicular traffic data can include speed-based filtering and/or position-based filtering of the raw location data.

22. A method for gathering vehicular traffic data based upon location data for one or more mobile units, the method comprising:
-
receiving raw location data representing a position of the one or more mobile units;
filtering the raw location data to discriminate which of the mobile units represent vehicles, the filtering being based upon at least one of the following criteria speed data as derived from the raw location data for the mobile units, positions of the mobile units represented by the raw location data, and distances-moved as derived from the raw location data for the mobile units; and
generating vehicular traffic data, for each mobile unit identified as a vehicle according to the filtering step, by assigning an identifier of the vehicle, and adopting, as vehicle data, at least the position coordinates and time stamps, respectively, of the mobile unit as position coordinates and time stamps for the vehicle.
