Data fusion fot traffic and safety indicators: the intelligent roads perspectives

2006
Conference Papers

Abstract

This work, part of the European project ‘Intelligent Roads’, aims to achieve real-time data collection and innovative methods for road traffic monitoring, focusing on some performance indicators: travel time and traffic density. Data fusion provides a consistent and comprehensive picture of network conditions, based only on available data sources: No sensor expense, but improved data quantity and quality. Two main sources are used: Classical loop detectors and probe vehicle reports (floating car data, toll stamp reports). Data is collected on several European sites. Very encouraging results are obtained on performance indicators. Data fusion will be applied to safety indicators too.

Intelligent transportation system

An intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an advanced application which aims to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks. Some of these technologies include calling for emergency services when an accident occurs, using cameras to enforce traffic laws or signs that mark speed limit changes depending on conditions.

Data

In common usage and statistics, data (USˈdætə; UKˈdeɪtə) is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures.

Floating car data

Floating car data (FCD) in traffic engineering and management is typically timestamped geo-localization and speed data directly collected by moving vehicles, in contrast to traditional traffic data collected at a fixed location by a stationary device or observer. In a physical interpretation context, FCD provides a Lagrangian description of the vehicle movements whereas stationary devices provide an Eulerian description. The participating vehicle acts itself consequently as a moving sensor using an onboard GPS receiver or cellular phone.
