Nowadays, traffic data are everywhere: Color-coded road maps showing the current traffic state or expected delays are available on smart-phones or computers, navigation devices include traffic data within der route computation and traffic messages inform car drivers via radio. However, the value of traffic information services depends on the quality of the used traffic data. Imprecise data lead to bad advices and thus to unsatisfied customers. But how can the data quality be rated and checked? The announced lecture provides a general introduction to the topic of traffic data, i.e., types of traffic data, their generation and typical sources for quality shortcomings. Furthermore, an overview of common methods for assessing traffic data quality is given and new, recently developed concepts and approaches are shown.
