1. A traffic monitoring system comprising:
- memory for storing map data;
a traffic report generating module that receives vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and that generates and transmits traffic reports based on said vector and location data; and
a map monitoring module including;
a path determining module that determines a travel path of said at least one of said cellular phones and said vehicles based on said vector and location data;
a comparing module that compares said travel path to roads defined by said map data; and
an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on said comparison.

Abstract
A traffic monitoring system comprises memory for storing map data, a traffic report generating module that receives vector and location data from at least one of cellular phones and vehicles and that generates and transmits traffic reports based on the vector and location data. A map monitoring module includes a path determining module that determines a travel path of the at least one of the cellular phones and the vehicles based on the vector and location data, a comparing module that compares the travel path to roads defined by the map data, and an identifying module that selectively identifies new roads based on the comparison.
