1. DEPLOYMENT AND EVALUATION OF REAL-TIME VEHICLE REIDENTIFICATION FROM AN OPERATIONS PERSPECTIVE

Task Order 4107

Pravin Varaiya, University of California, Berkeley
varaiya@eecs.berkeley.edu, www.path.berkeley.edu/~varaiya

The goals of this proposal include: 1)maintain the high resolution loop detector surveillance and communication of the Berkeley Highway Lab, 2)make the vehicle reidentification systerm compatible with the Caltrans open architecture ATMS software and bring the data into the Caltrans D4 system, 3)evaluate the costs and benefits of vehicle reidentification from an operational prespective, and 4)develop a path to large scale deployment.

 

2. DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF FIELD DEPLOYABLE REAL-TIME LASER-BASED NON-INTRUSIVE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR MEASURING OF TRAVEL TIME ON THE HIGHWAY

Task Order 4116

Harry Cheng, University of California, Davis
hhcheng@ucdavis.edu, iel.ucdavis.edu/people/cheng.html

This project will develop and test a complete field deployable laser-based detection system which is capable on non-intrusively detecting high-resolution, site-independent delineation's of vehicles for measurement of true travel time on the highway in real time. The detection system will be reliable, easy to maintain and low-cost.

 

3. GPS/GIS TECHNOLOGIES FOR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE AND MANAGEMENT: A TESTBED IMPLEMENTATION STUDY

Task Order 4120

Michael McNally, University of California, Irvine
mmcnally@uci.edu, www.eng.uci.edu/civil/Faculty/McNally/index.html

The research seeks to gain better understanding of route choice behavior as part of individual travel pattern. The project is a frull study of full study of travel time patterns, which will be collected using a travel survey, augmented with GPS data.

 

4. FIELD INVESTIGATION OF ADVANCED VEHICLE REIDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES AND DECTECTOR TECHNOLOGIES - PHASE 2

This research will use the latest technologies available for traffic detection for collecting more accurate traffic characteristics and traffic data necessary for ITS applications. This project consists of three components. The first component is a field investigation of several emerging and advanced freeway detector technologies developed by PATH including a laser, video, and a new loop detector. The second component involves the utilization of the reidentification system at a major signalized intersection for real-time level of service estimation. The third component involves an investigation of the fusion of the various advanced detection systems that have been developed by PATH for the purpose of vehicle reidentification.

 

5. MULTI-SENSOR TRAFFIC DATA FUSION

 MOU 3021

 This research will develop the infrastructure and algorithms necessary to generate a large, accurate database of vehicle trajectories and identifying features through the integration of loop and video data. This database will be used to validate the algorithms developed in previous research on data analysis/visualization, and travel time estimation and develop improved algorithms for field deployment.
