Republic of China (ROC), have been developing a comprehensive traffic information service system covering the urban expressways and arterial transportation facilities. The available traffic information can be used for effective traffic routing and congestion management applications through the development of a Traffic Data Fusion Process (TDFP) based on both historical and real-time link travel times. This paper describes the design and implementation of automatic computer-assisted procedures or the Traffic Data Fusion Process to estimate the updated link-travel-time, select proper incident responses, and construct traffic information messages. The proposed system, currently being developed, can distribute these real-time traffic information automatically to all users. This paper describes the design and implementation of automatic computer- assisted procedures to estimate the updated link-travel-time, select proper incident responses, and construct traffic information messages.
