This paper is proposed to algorithm for measuring traffic information automatically, for example, volume count, speed and occupancy rate, from CCTV camera images installed on highway, add to function of image detectors which can be collected the traffic information. Recently the method of traffic informations are counted in lane one by one, but this manner is occurred critical errors by occlusion frequently in case of passing larger vehicles(bus, truck etc.) and is impossible to measure in the 8 lanes of highway. In this paper, installed the detection area include with all lanes, traffic informations are collected using tracking algorithm with passing vehicles individually in this detection area, thus possible to detect all of 8 lanes. The experiment have been conducted two different real road scenes for 20 minutes. For the experiments, the images are provided with CCTV camera which was installed at Kiheung Interchange upstream of Kyongbu highway, and video recording images at Chungkye Tunnel. For image processing, images captured by frame-grabber board 30 frames per second, $640{\times}480$ pixels resolution and 256 gray-levels to reduce the total amount of data to be interpreted.

There are various high-performance algorithms in the area of the existing VDSs (vehicle detection systems). However, they requires a large amount of computational time-complexity and their systems generally are very expensive and consumes high-power. This paper proposes real-time traffic information detection algorithm that can be applied to low-cost, low-power, and open development platform such as Android. This algorithm uses a vehicle's sub-shadow to set ROI(region of interest) and to count vehicles using a location of the sub-shadow and the vehicle. The proposed algorithm is able to count the vehicles per each roads and each directions separately. The experiment result show that the detection rate for going-up vehicles is 94.1% and that for going-down vehicles is 97.1%. These results are close to or surpasses 95%, the detection rate of commercial loop detectors.

Nowadays image processing is very useful for some field of traffic applications. The one reason is we can construct the system in a low price, the other is the improvement of hardware processing power, it can be more fast to processing the data. In traffic field, the development of image using system is interesting issue. Because it has the advantage of price of installation and it does not obstruct traffic during the installation. In this study, 1 propose the traffic monitoring system that implement on the embedded system environment. The whole system consists of two main part, one is host controller board, the other is image processing board. The part of host controller board take charge of control the total system interface of external environment, and OSD(On screen display). The part of image processing board takes charge of image input and output using video encoder and decoder, Image classification and memory control of using FPGA, control of mouse signal. And finally, for stable operation of host controller board, uC/OS-II operating system is ported on the board.

기존의 영상검지기는 한정된 구간에서 차량을 추출, 추적하는데 본 논문에서 제안한 카메라간 연계 추적 방법은 두 대의 카메라를 서로 연계하여 차량을 추적함으로써 넓은 구간에서도 효과적으로 차량을 추적할 수 있다. 한 대의 카메라는 전방을 검지하고 다른 카메라는 후방을 검지하여 전방 검지영역에서 추적한 차량을 후방 검지영역에서도 연계하여 추적하게 된다. 연계 추적을 위해 전방 카메라에서 취득한 차량의 차선정보와 차량의 대표 gray level 정보를 후방 카메라로부터의 영상 분석시 이용하여 차량 연계 추적을 한다.

The accuracy of a Video Image Detector (VID) is gradually reduced due to various environmental and mechanical factors. However, there has been no systematic research about the decrease of VID accuracy. To maintain a proper level of VID accuracy for advanced traffic management, a regular VID calibration process needs to be introduced. However, the calibration cannot be performed frequently because of the cost. In this study, the researchers collected field data for accuracy estimation and inferred an accuracy decreasing function by using regression and considering the heteroscedasticity problem. Using the invented data collection equipment which was used for checking adaptability, some data in the field were collected and analyzed. Although the data were limited, the results are promising. More data need to be investigated in the future and this study will help to maintain the data quality for broad utilization of the data in ITS centers.

The purpose of this paper is to develop automatic incident detection algorithm using image based detector in freeway management system. This algorithm was developed by using neutral network for high speed roadway and by using speed and occupancy variable for low speed roadway. The image detector system with the developed automatic incident detection algorithm can detect multi-lane as well as several detect areas for each lane. To evaluate this system, field tests to measure the detecting rate of incidents were performed with other systems which have APID and DES algorithm at high speed roadway(freeway) and low speed roadway(national arterial). As the results of field test, it found that the detect rate of this system was highest rate comparing to other two systems.

Video Image Detection System can be used for various traffic managements including traffic operation and traffic safety. Video Image Detection Technique can be divide by Tripwire System and Tracking System. Autoscope, which is widely used in the market, utilizes the Tripwire System. In this study, we developed an individual vehicle tracking system that can collect microscopic traffic information and also developed another image detection technology under the Tripwire System. To prove the accuracy and reliability of the newly developed systems, we compared the traffic data of the systems with those generated by Autoscope. The results showed that 0.35% of errors compared with the real traffic counts and 1.78% of errors with Autoscope. Performance comparisons on speed from the two systems showed the maximum errors of 1.77% with Autoscope, which confirms the usefulness of the newly developed systems.

본 연구는 기존 구간 속도 예측기법의 고찰을 통하여 검지기에서 올라오는 교통제어변수를 이용하여 구간 속도 예측모형을 연구하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위한 교통 제어변수로는 연속류 제어에서 통상적으로 사용되는 교통량, 점유율, 밀도, 속도 등을 사용한다. 공간적 범위로는 서울 올림픽대로의 17개의 영상 검지기 중 #3과 #16검지기에서 올라오는 속도, 점유율, 교통량 자료를 토대로 1998년 6월 11일 오전 7시부터 11시까지의 4시간동안 예측을 실시하며 Historical Traffic Pattern과 시험차량, 자동차 번호판 조사를 통한 구간 실측조사 자료를 토대로 예측을 위한 자료를 구축한다. 기존의 예측기법인 시계열 분석, 신경망 이론, 평활법과 칼만필터링을 고찰하였고, 가장 좋은 예측력을 보여주는 기법은 칼만필터링 모형이었다. 이를 토대로 Case Study를 통해 여러 구간의 다주기 예측을 통해 단기간(short-term)의 구간 속도를 예측하고 각 해당 검지기별 실측자료를 통해 비교분석을 실시하였다. 결과적으로 도출된 칼만필터링 모형의 다주기 예측을 통한 구간 통행속도의 예측이 기존의 구간 통행속도 산출 방법보다 더 나은 예측력을 보여주고 있다.
