In order to operate the computerized traffic signal system, it requires the detectors which ensure the exact detections of actual traffic data (e.g., traffic volume, occupancy and velocity of vehicles). The octagonal detectors are used currently in Korea. However, the maintenance of the detectors has many problems with the road repairs and the constructions on the pavement, and failure due to the disconnection of the wires. Serious delay due to the long installation time of loops also causes the traffic disturbances. The low sensitivities and splash-over effect can sometimes create error data after installation of the octagonal loops. The mai purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of domestic use of the round (circular) inductive loops which developed recently in U.S.A. It was found that the round loops are comparable to the existing octagonal loops. In addition, the use of the high quality of materials in the round loop system can reduce the current problems and weakpoints of the octagonal loops. The installation cost of the round loop was found out as economic as the octagonal loop. The installation time of the round loop system can be reduced with the specially equipped loop truck, and wide/deep slots without sharp corners can extend the durability without serious stress of loop head wires. In conclusion, the round loop is superior to the octagonal type in overall points. It is recommended that the localization of the materials and equipments of round loop system is required to carry out the extensive local installations. Also, several contractors to meet the nationwide demand should be arranged to gurantee the proper maintenance and operation of the systems.

It requires the detector system which can collect highly reliable traffic data in order to perform the real-time traffic signal control. This study is to decide the optimal shape of inductive loop for the real-time traffic signal control .This loop is located at the stopline in the signalized intersection for DS(Degree of Saturation) control. In order to find out the optimal shape of loop, 6types of experiments were performed . The results of the basic experiments of loops are as follows ; -the optimal number of turns for loop is 3 turns. -the impedance values of the loop detectors are similar to that of NEMA standards -the 1.8${\times}$4.5M loop is excellent for sensitivity in actual detection range of car length comparing to other shape of inductive loops. At the experimental of establishments of the optimal loop shape, it found that 1.8 4.5M loop has the highest values of $\DeltaL$ comparing to other types of loops, It means that the range of Lead-in cable length of this loop. And this loop is highly reliable in occpupancy time. Conclusivley, the 1.8${\times}$4.5M inductive loop is the optimal solution as a stop line loop detector for real -time traffic signal control.

The purpose of this paper is comparatively to evaluate the confidence of Vehicle-Detector informations for various detectors in order to test to be possible the application of these to real time traffic signal control. The detectors which are tested for this study are Circle-Shaped Loop, Ultrasonic, Microwave and Image detector. The tested items for each detectors are traffic volume, degree of saturation for through and left turn movement, speed and queue length, etc. These items for each are tested at the field according to several situations, such as dry day, raining day, night and daytime. The result of these tests are performed comparative analysis and statistical examination in order to increase the confidence of the experiments.

New types of PFD (phase-frequency detector) are proposed with reset time and propagation delay reduced. The perfomrance of our proposed PFDs are confirmed by SPICE simulation with 0.8.mu.m CMOS process parameter. As a result of simulation, the reset time of PFDs are 0.32 nsec and 0.030 nsec in capture-process. The proposed PFDs can be used in hihg-speed phase-licked loop (PLL).

There are many inductive loop detectors under the highways in Korea. Among the other detectors, some are image detectors. Almost all image detectors are focused one or two lane of the road and are measuring traffic information. This paper proposes to an algorithm for detecting traffic information automatically from CCTV camera images installed on the highway. The information which is counted in one lane or two contains some critical errors by occlusion frequently in case of passing larger vehicles. In this paper, we use a tracking algorithm in which the detection area include all lanes, then the traffic informations are collected from the vehicles individually using difference images in this detection area. This tracking algorithm is better than lane by lane detecting algorithm. 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.

ALINEA는 램프의 하류부에 설치된 검지기를 이용하여 최적의 차량점유율 상태를 유지하도록 유입램프의 교통량을 조절하는 방안으로 검지기를 이용한 차량의 점유율을 제어 변수로 이용하고 있다. 하지만, 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 루프제어기 점유율의 정확도가 비교적 낮다는 점과 점유율은 검지기 길이의 함수로서 ALINEA의 적용 시 설치 지점마다, 그리고 검지기 길이마다 최적 점유율 보정과정이 필요한 점을 감안할 때 현재 사용 중인 ALINEA를 보완할 필요가 있다. 관리자와 이용자 측면에서 점유율이 사실상 인지하기 어려운 변수임을 감안할 때 쉽고 간편한 변수의 사용을 통한 모형개발이 의미를 가질 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 ALINEA 알고리즘의 기본 개념을 이용하되 제어변수인 점유율을 이용할 때의 불편한 점 및 단점을 일부 개선시킬 수 있는 속도 변수를 이용하여 ALINEA 모델을 보완하고자 한다.

본 연구는 대기행렬길이를 보다 정확하게 측정하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 현재 서울시 실시간 신호제어시스템(COSMOS)에서 적용되는 대기행렬산출 알고리즘은 평균차량길이와 점유시간을 이용하여 속도를 산출하고 이를 다시 밀도 개념의 정체도로 환산하여 대기행렬길이를 구하고 있다. 평균차량길이에 의한 속도산출로 인하여 오차가 발생되고, 운영자가 지정해 주어야하는 값이 산재되어 그 값을 최적화하기가 어려워 정확한 대기행렬길이를 구하기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정지선으로부터의 거리와 대기검지기에서부터 수집되는 점유율 간의 관계를 밝혀, 이를 대기행렬길이 산출 알고리즘에 적용하였다. 대기행렬길이 추정 알고리즘을 사용할 경우 루프 검지기에서 많은 가공단계가 필요하지 않은 기본 데이터인 점유율을 이용하여 대기행렬길이를 예측할 수 있다고 할 수가 있다. 그리고 운영자 지정값이 없어 현장 적용에 있어서 그 값에 대한 최적화 작업이 필요가 없어 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 개발된 대기행렬길이 추정알고리즘을 COSMOS시스템이 운영중인 사이트(Site)에 적용할 결과 현재 사용 중인 대기행렬길이 추정 알고리즘 보다 우수한 것을 확인 할 수가 있었다. 하지만, 본 연구에서 개발된 대기행렬길이 추정 알고리즘을 일반적으로 적용하기 위해서는 다양한 현장 및 경우에 대하여 적용하여 검증을 하여야 할 것이다. 이에 관련한 연구가 향후 진행될 경우 현재 대기행렬길이 추정 알고리즘 보다 적용이 쉽고, 정확한 값을 얻는 알고리즘으로 완성될 것으로 기대한다.

This paper presents a heuristic algorithm for classifying vehicles using a single loop detector. The data used for the development of the algorithm are the frequency variation of a vehicle sensored from the circle-shaped loop detectors which are normal buried beneath the expressway. The pre-processing of data is required for the development of the algorithm that actually consists of two parts. One is both normalization of occupancy time and that with frequency variation, the other is finding of an adaptable number of sample size for each vehicle category and calculation of average value of normalized frequencies along with occupancy time that will be stored for comparison. Then, detected values are compared with those stored data to locate the most fitted pattern. After the normalization process, we developed some frameworks for comparison schemes. The fitted scales used were 10 and 15 frames in occupancy time(X-axis) and 10 and 15 frames in frequency variation (Y-axis). A combination of X-Y 10-15 frame turned out to be the most efficient scale of normalization producing 96 percent correct classification rate for six types of vehicle.
