This study investigates an alternative way to estimate degrees of road traffic congestion based on routine GPS measurements from main roads in urban areas of Bangkok, Thailand. We classify three levels of traffic congestion according to the weighted exponential moving averages of measured GPS speed. Human perception is used to obtain classification thresholds and evaluated the performance of the proposed method. The benefits of our proposed method over existing techniques is that it is simple, easy to understand, and compatible with existing traffic report systems in Bangkok
