This research intended to study a vehicle detection method for traffic volume, speed, stoping, parking activity, etc. using real time image processing and to propose the more accurate, environment adaptive image processing algorithm. The new method was compared with an existing commercialized image processing system, 'A' Product, for performance reliability tests. Also, the new method improved and developed the comparative advantage image processing algorithm. With regard to the test results, the algorithm over-counted one more vehicle, while 'A' product missed four vehicles during the test period. The first test results were used to improve the performance of this algorithm, and it's performance was improved though the second test in various and complicated traffic environment to yield superior performance.

Traffic simulation models have been used for assessing various transportation strategies. Through comparing results from a simulation model and real field data, researchers try to show how close the model can reproduce the real world traffic. This model verification step is one of the most essential tasks in modeling procedure. Traffic counts and speeds have been frequently used for the verification or validation. Authors modeled severe PM peak bottleneck situation on the I-40 corridor in Raleigh, North Carolina using DYNASMART-P, a mesoscopic traffic simulation tool and verified the model. NCDOT has Traffic Information Management System which has archive capability for the traffic speeds on the I-40 corridor. However, the authors selected travel time as the field measure for model verification and collected the data using a GPS equipment because the speed data from NCDOT speed detectors are spot speeds which are not appropriate for comparison with link average speed from the simulation model. This paper describes the GPS field data collection procedure, the model verification method, and the results.

This study was conducted to investigate that bus information was used as an information of travel speed. To determine the travel speed on the road, bus information and the information collected from the point detector and the interval detection installed were compared. If bus information has the function of traffic information detector, can provide the travel speed information to road users. To this end, the model of recognizing the traffic patterns is necessary. This study used simple moving-average method, simple exponential smoothing method, Double moving average method, Double exponential smoothing method, ARIMA(Autoregressive integrated moving average model) as the existing methods rather than new approach methods. This study suggested the possibility to replace bus information system into other information collection system.

Travel Time is an important characteristic of traffic conditions in a road network. Currently, there are so many road users to get a unsatisfactory traffic information that is provided by existing collection systems such as, Detector, Probe car, CCTV and Anecdotal Report. This paper presents the results achieved with Data Fusion Model, Hybrid Neuro Fuzzy System for on - line estimation of travel times using RTMS(Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor) and Probe Data in the signalized arterial road. Data Fusion is the most important process to compose the various of data which can present real value for traffic situation and is also the one of the major process part in the TIC(Traffic Information Center) for analyzing and processing data. On-line travel time estimation methods(FALEM) on the basis of detector data has been evaluated by real value under KangNam Test Area.

신속하고 정확한 교통정보 서비스의 제공은 원활한 교통소통을 위하여 필수적인 요소이다. 특히, 교통사고, 도로보수 그리고 자연재해와 같은 유고가 발생할 경우, 운전자에게 즉시 통보해주어 우회할 수 있도록 조치하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 다양한 교통정보 수집기에서 수집된 교통정보를 바탕으로 실시간으로 유고상황을 판별하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 유고상황 분석은 다양한 환경요인으로 인해 판별이 어렵고, 최근에 활용되고 있는 인공지능 기법은 검지에 드는 시간 비용이 많다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 과거에 발생한 각종 돌발 상황을 분석하여 실시간으로 유고상황을 검지하는 것이 목적이다. 유고검지를 위해 GPS를 탑재한 probe car에서 수집된 차량속도와 온라인으로 제보된 유고정보를 ANFIS를 이용하여 분석 후 유고상태를 판별한다. 본 연구를 통해 실시간 도로 이용자들이 유고 발생 지역의 정보를 제공받고 그 상황에 신속하게 대처하게 함으로써 교통 혼잡 완화에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

ATIS(Advanced Traveler Information System) is the system to offer a real-time traffic information or traffic situation for the benefit of the client. One of traffic information collection methods for ATIS research is the method of image analysis. The method is divided into two : one is the method to set two loop detectors at the area and the other is the method detecting the vehicle through an image analysis. In this paper, we propose a real-time traffic information collection system to mix two methods. The system installs multiple virtual detection lines and traces the location of the vehicle. Use of multiple virtual detection lines supplements the defect of the method of loop detectors. And we drew a representative pixels in the detecting area and used it for image analysis. This is to solve the problem of time delay which increases as the image size increases. We gathered traffic images and experimented using the system and got 92.32% of detection accuracy.

Image Processing Technique has been used as an efficient method to collect traffic information on the road such as vehicle counts, speed, queues, congestion and incidents. Most of the current methods which have been used to detect vehicles by the image processing are based on point processing, dealing with the local gray level of each pixel in the small window. However, these methods have some drawbacks. Firstly, detection is restricted by image quality. Secondly, they can not deal with occlusion and perspective projection problems, In this research, a new method which possibly deals with occlusion and perspective problems will be proposed. It extracts spatial information such as the position, the relationship of vehicles in 3-dimensional space, as well as vehicle detection in the image. The main algorithm used in this research is based on an extension of the Hough Transform. The Hough Transform which is proposed to estimates parameters of vertices and directed edges analytically on the Hough Space, is a valuable method for the 3-dimensional analysis of static scenes, motion detection and the estimation of viewing parameters.

This study aims to introduce a basic principle to improve the incident detection algorithm using traffic flow diagrams that can classify traffic states with a high reliability on the basis of the analysis of traffic flow characteristics under the recurrent or incident congestions. It is tried to newly classify the traffic states with the speed-flow and speed-occupancy diagrams. This is because McMaster algorithm has a tendancy on not identifying the traffic states exactly using the flow-occupancy diagram. In this study it shows that the classification of traffic states is applicable to use speed-occupancy relationship Therefore, it is necessary to determine some parameters to correctly classify the areas representing the traffic states and it may be possible to develop a new algorithm to detect the incident with a high reliability.
