SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLECTING TRAFFIC INFORMATION

A system for collecting traffic information includes a vehicle having at least one sensor for collecting dead reckoning (DR) information, and a global positioning system (GPS) receiver configured to receive GPS information, and a server that maps the DR information and the GPS information to a server map to generate first map matching information, and collects the first map matching information as the traffic information when it is determined that a version of a software platform of the vehicle is a latest version and all the DR information and the GPS information are received.
