A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING ROUTE AND TRAFFIC DENSITY

A system (10) and method (20) for extracting route and traffic density employ analysis of Geographical Information, GI to define route and traffic density. The present invention comprising a geolocation recorder module (101) adapted to gather traffic information from at least one source; an analysis server (110) adapted to receive the traffic information and process the information to provide route density information; a display module (106) adapted to display the route density information; and a decision maker module (107) to facilitate route planning. The analysis server preferably comprises a map extractor module, a route Extract, Transform, Load, ETL module, a route frequency module, a route colour conversion module and at least one relational database. The approach of the present invention involves producing valuable density and quality Geographical Information, GI data to simulate route planning by extracting route and traffic density, for example for urban safety research and planning.
