The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infrastructure (ETOMIC): a testbed for universal active and passive measurements

The European Traffic Observatory is a European Union VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with high-precision, GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. This paper describes the system and node architectures, together with the management system. On the other hand, we also present the testing platform that is currently being used for testing ETOMIC nodes before actual deployment.
