1) The document discusses travel time estimation from an intelligent transportation systems perspective.
2) It aims to compare literature-based travel time estimates to field measurements and develop models to predict travel time and congestion.
3) The methodology involves collecting Bluetooth and sensor data from the Nebraska Department of Transportation on traffic along various road segments, then using this data to model travel time and congestion through linear regression and logistic regression techniques.

Compare literature based Travel Time
estimation to the field measured Travel Time
Develop models for predicting Travel Time and
Congestion and assess their performance.
17. Findings from the Study
The Travel Time estimated with Instantaneous Model
validates with the Field Measured (Bluetooth based) Travel
Time.
The Travel Time is highly correlated with independent
variables as velocities at beginning and end of the section,
segment length, and the earlier travel time (5 minute before)
as evident in multiple linear regression modeling.
Similarly, the situation of the segment being congested or not
is also explained by above mentioned variables along with
number entry/exit points along the segment.
Since from the Time Vs. Velocity plot, the congestion at the
period 5 PM- 6 PM was seemingly high at the upstream
