Download or read book Data Collection System and Analysis Methodology Development Using Radar based Vehicle Detection Infrastructure written by Kelvin Roberto Santiago Chaparro and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in vehicle detection systems and signal controllers have produced actuated traffic signals that react to the presence of vehicles as well as adaptive traffic signal systems that predict vehicle arrivals to proactively adjust signal timings. However, one thing that has not changed over the years is the reliance on point-based data produced by loop activations or by alternative vehicle detection systems that emulate the behavior of loop detectors. Even when limited, point-based data remains the standard used by traffic engineers to measure or estimate volume, speed, density, occupancy, delay, and emissions among other performance measures. Microwave radar-based vehicle detection is one commercially-available technology used as an alternative for loop detectors. The IntersectorTM is a radar-based vehicle detection system that continuously monitors the trajectory of vehicles within the range of the device while approaching an intersection. However, trajectory information which is composed of speed, position, and vehicle length is only used to communicate the presence of vehicles over a virtual loop to the signal controller. In other words, all trajectory information is constantly discarded. If collected, discarded trajectory data can be used to directly monitor performance measures by analyzing the full path followed by a vehicle and the corresponding speed profile. A software-based data collection system developed as part of this research capable of monitoring and logging vehicle trajectories which are constantly discarded by the IntersectorTM is presented. Data collected from the system was used to directly monitor operational and safety performance measures. Data analysis procedures were developed to obtain turning movement counts, lane classifications, stopped delay, post-encroachment time, red light running statistics, and operational speeds. All procedures were written and implemented in the R programming language thus making the implementation of the procedures using low-cost hardware platforms intended for the internet of things (IOT) a possibility. The research presented represents a transformational shift in how performance measures are monitored at signalized intersections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing transportation through the lens of current social, economic, and policy aspects, this four-volume reference work explores the topic of transportation across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and related areas, including geography, public policy, business, and economics. The book’s articles, all written by experts in the field, seek to answer such questions as: What has been the legacy, not just economically but politically and socially as well, of President Eisenhower’s modern interstate highway system in America? With that system and the infrastructure that supports it now in a state of decline and decay, what’s the best path for the future at a time of enormous fiscal constraints? Should California politicians plunge ahead with plans for a high-speed rail that every expert says—despite the allure—will go largely unused and will never pay back the massive investment while at this very moment potholes go unfilled all across the state? What path is best for emerging countries to keep pace with dramatic economic growth for their part? What are the social and financial costs of gridlock in our cities? Features: Approximately 675 signed articles authored by prominent scholars are arranged in A-to-Z fashion and conclude with Further Readings and cross references. A Chronology helps readers put individual events into historical context; a Reader’s Guide organizes entries by broad topical or thematic areas; a detailed index helps users quickly locate entries of most immediate interest; and a Resource Guide provides a list of journals, books, and associations and their websites. While articles were written to avoid jargon as much as possible, a Glossary provides quick definitions of technical terms. To ensure full, well-rounded coverage of the field, the General Editor with expertise in urban planning, public policy, and the environment worked alongside a Consulting Editor with a background in Civil Engineering. The index, Reader’s Guide, and cross references combine for thorough search-and-browse capabilities in the electronic edition. Available in both print and electronic formats, Encyclopedia of Transportation is an ideal reference for libraries and those who want to explore the issues that surround transportation in the United States and around the world.
