A road traffic monitoring system includes: a first input for receiving position estimations of mobile terminals; a second input for receiving input specifications chosen depending on the type of service for which such monitoring is performed; and an output for generating road traffic maps, each road traffic map being associated with a set of territory elements and including, for each one of the territory elements, at least one mobility index of mobile terminals travelling within such territory element. Preferably, input specifications are chosen among at least two of the following parameters, territory element, territory element observation time slot, and maximum allowable error on the estimation of at least one mobility index.

System and related method for road traffic monitoring

A method is disclosed for locating a terminal in a local wireless telecommunications network adapted to provide an estimated position of the terminal depending on a set of configuration data and a set of measuring data indicating whether the terminal belongs to a subset of said coverage areas and acquired from the terminal or network. The set of configuration data has a plurality of data bases of configurations, each one having a respective weight function, and the set of measuring data has a plurality of measuring types, depending on the type of terminal. A method for associating, to every combination of a data base of configurations and a measuring type, a respective locating procedure corresponding to an accuracy value of the locating estimation and actuating the locating procedure related to a combination selected by executing a related processing program. A processing system and a processing program or group of programs can be executed by the system and arranged to perform the above method.
