Abstract	In this paper we present a road traffic estimation system built on top of the cellular network infrastructure. Based on the concept that many road users are also customers of a cellular operator, we show that specific road conditions map to certain signaling patterns in the cellular core network. In order to estimate the road traffic, signaling is collected from the core network of an operational mobile network. We explore the feasibility of using mobility-related signaling for pantomiming local-loop sensors, i.e. counting the number of vehicles crossing a specific road section. In this work we present the main system component and discuss a number of practical issues to be considered in the deployment of such system. Based on the explorative analysis of real signaling data, we show how normal and abnormal road conditions (e.g. accidents) map into mobility signaling in a real cellular network.
