DESCRIPTION:Dr. Klaus Bogenberger\, Universitiy FAF\, Munich\, Germany\nNo
 wadays\, traffic data are everywhere: Color-coded road maps showing the cu
 rrent traffic state or expected delays are available on smart-phones or co
 mputers\, navigation devices include traffic data within der route computa
 tion and traffic messages inform car drivers via radio. However\, the valu
 e of traffic information services depends on the quality of the used traff
 ic data. Imprecise data lead to bad advices and thus to unsatisfied custom
 ers. But how can the data quality be rated and checked? The announced lect
 ure provides a general introduction to the topic of traffic data\, i.e.\, 
 types of traffic data\, their generation and typical sources for quality s
 hortcomings. Furthermore\, an overview of common methods for assessing tra
 ffic data quality is given and new\, recently developed concepts and appro
 aches are shown.\nBio : Dr. Klaus Bogenberger is an Full Professor at the 
 University FAF in Munich since 2012. He received his Civil Engineering dip
 loma and Doctoral Degree\, from the Munich University of Technology (TUM).
