This paper proposes a travel time prediction method using toll collection system data such as the time a vehicle passes through an entrance and exit toll gate. The proposed method consists of a typical actual travel time calculation method using toll collection system data and a future travel time prediction method using travel time patterns. A future travel time prediction method is based on travel time pattern matching. Furthermore, the proposed method is verified by using actual field data. In Japan, toll collection systems are installed in most expressways. Therefore, by using the proposed method, travel time information can be provided for drivers at low cost and high precision in expressways without the need for sensors. The proposed method can be easily applied to ETC, because it uses only toll collection system data.
