This study first summarizes the Kinematic Wave Theory which has been used to describe vehicle motions and the Variational Theory which is an efficient solution method to estimate vehicle trajectories based on the Kinematic Wave Theory. Then, several demonstrative applications on a signalized arterial and on an intercity motorway are presented by a data fusion technique using probe vehicle data and conventional traffic detector data.
