The benefits of open data in urban traffic network

The importance of linking transport and traffic information in recent years has become a major topic among the countries of the European Union and beyond. Authorities and decision-makers are introducing terms such as open data and big data into legal frameworks and are increasing focus on removing barriers from legal regulation on the use of data closely related to transport. This paper provides information on the application and level of use of open data and big data in Croatia, as well as a legal legislation framework that ensures the use of such data in the Republic of Croatia. Observations and findings on the amount of data available for use by third-parties service providers that are strictly related to transport were presented. Based on experience from the world, the benefits brought by the availability of transport linked data that could be used in optimizing urban traffic network through the big data technologies have been outlined.
