State transportation departments are required to annually report various traffic statistics to the US government. Currently, this data is measured using older technologies that are susceptible to failure and are difficult to maintain and repair. In this paper, we propose using vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) to measure this common traffic data. In addition to collecting information required for reporting purposes, VANET-based traffic monitoring can provide highly-desired metrics such as travel times, which cannot be directly measured using commonly used traffic monitoring approaches. We show that with 100% penetration rate, our methods can collect precise traffic data and that even with low penetration rates or low density traffic, we can collect high quality estimates of travel times, time mean speeds, and space mean speeds.
