N2 - A realistic simulation scenario is instrumental for the study of transportation problems and the possible solutions that Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can provide such as smart traffic lights, warning notification. In this paper we focus on providing a automatic traffic flow monitor, named Vehicular Traffic Monitor (VTM), to extract information from GoogleMaps traffic layer. Our monitor bases on image processing and the relationship between geographical coordinates to pixel position and does not needs any interface to process vehicular flow information. VTM can be used to obtain traffic flow logs, which are the base to generate realistic, synthetic vehicular traffic traces, specially for areas where those traces are not available. Moreover, we show the traffic flow evolution along a specific day (Father’s day) can vary from usual behavior, and therefore our tool is useful to obtain information of such cases.
