摘要：
We develop a methodology to estimate robust city-level vehicu-lar speed indices, exactly decomposable into uncongested speed and congestion. We apply it to 180 Indian cities using 57 million simulated trips measured by a web mapping service. We verify the reliability of our simulated trips using a number of alternative data sources, including data on actual trips. We find wide variation in speed across cities that is driven more by differences in uncon-gested speed than congestion. Denser and more populated cities are slower, only in part because of congestion. Urban economic devel-opment is correlated with faster speed despite worse congestion.
