Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for visualizing the traffic condition. The load of each road is updated using the incoming data collected by the devices placed at specific road crossings and junctions. The data includes the road occupancy, average speed, and vehicle types. They are analyzed to produce the 3D animation sequence of the traffic in real-time. This visualization maximizes the value of the collected data by aiding the end-users to grasp the current road situation intuitively. The traffic of a particular lane are based on the actual number of vehicles of that type passed during the last 5 minutes. This system was used in the Ministry of Construction and Public Transportation to visualize the Korean roads during the holidays around the lunar new year of 1997.
