A traffic data collection process and monitoring system that uses a plurality of GPS enabled mobile devices to transmit near at real-time traffic direction and speed information to a server and or/at real-time (sub 10 second latency). The sever processes the information thereby reducing the computational load and power consumption of the mobile devices. The system uses a Traffic Pattern Recognition software program that accurately recognizes only valid traffic data while filtering out unwanted traffic data. The system creates a Distributed Traffic Data Store database containing the average speeds for designated traffic monitoring points created for the region. During use, a request for traffic data containing the boundary data and the zoom level is sent from the mobile device to the server. The server then reviews the requests and determines with specific Distributed Traffic Data Store database contains the information. The server then creates a compressed file containing the traffic information relevant to the TMPs in the request and sends it to the mobile device.
