1. A traffic update method implemented by a mobile monitoring system including in part a server and at least one monitoring device, comprising:

  • collecting, at the at least one monitoring device, signals emitted from one or more wireless devices;

    collecting, at the server, traffic information from one or more sources including at least one of satellite, radio channel and network sources;

    determining an accuracy level of the traffic information based on the one or more sources providing the traffic information or an amount of correspondence between the one or more sources,analyzing, at the server, the collected signals and the traffic information to identify at least one traffic flow according to travel routes of the one or more wireless devices;

    determining, at the server, whether the identified at least one traffic flow exceeds an updating threshold based on the collected signals;

    deriving, at the server, when the traffic flow exceeds the updating threshold, an updating priority indicating an order in which the traffic flows are processed based on the collected signals; and

    updating, at the server, a dynamic traffic transportation plan map based on the at least one traffic flow, the updating threshold, the updating priority, and the accuracy level of the traffic information.
