본 연구에서는 3차원그래픽스를 이용하여 영상검지기에서의 교통정보를 얻기 위한 검지영역 설정시 안정된 검지영역을 찾기 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 기존의 영상검지기에서는 사용자가 임의로 검지영역을 설정하여 교통정보를 수집함으로 인하여 안정된 교통정보를 얻기가 어려웠으며, 영상카메라의 설치시 과다한 설치규격의 설정으로 비효율적 측면이 발생될 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 영상검지기를 현장에 설치하기 전에 영상검지기 설치를 위한 사전 모의실험을 토대로 최적의 안정된 설치위치 결정이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서 개발한 모의 실험기는 도로의 기하구조와 차량을 모델화 하고 이를 3차원으로 좌표화하여 좌표변환식과 원근변환식을 이용하여 3차원좌표를 2차원으로 변환시키고 컴퓨터 모니터에 투영하여 대상 설치위치에서의 결과를 가시화하였다. 본 연구는 개발된 모의실험기의 적용성 검토를 위하여 현재 영상검지기를 운영중에 있는 한 접근로를 대상으로 사례연구를 수행하였다. 수행결과 교통량과 통행속도계측시 최적검지영역 설정을 위한 영상검지기의 설치규격은 높이가 각각 7m, 12m이상이며, 수직각은 각각 $30^{\circ}$, $80^{\circ}$인 것으로 나타났다.

Speeding has been reported as one of the major causes for fatal traffic accidents in Korea. The resolution against this dangerous speeding comes to make the automated speed enforcement system an enforcement tool. The speed detection device, which measures speeds of each incoming vehicles using double loop sensors, requires high accuracy. The object of this study is to develop an accurate speed measurement algorithm using double loop detectors. Some important findings are summarized as follows: 1) It was found that speed measurement errors are caused by scanning rate, distance of two loops, irregular vehicle trajectories, multiple vehicles in detection zone. 2) A proposed algorithm using two signal set proved to reduce variance as well as mean of speed measurement. 3) A proposed filtering algorithm was effective to filter irregular driving vehicles and multiple vehicles in detection zone. A comprehensive field test of developed algorithm resulted in significant improvement of speed measurement accuracy.

The purpose of this thesis is development of detection algorithm for stop-line detector. Detail detection area is set in basing detection area($1.8{\times}4.0m$) and traffic information(volume, occupancy, nonoccupancy) is collected by passive infrared detector at designing detection area. The basis detection area($1.8{\times}4.0m$) is named existing PIR and detection area applied on development algorithm is named proposal PIR. The proposal PIR is collected data such volume, occupancy, nonoccupancy, speed and lane change, but this thesis is limited to evaluate for volume, occupancy and nonoccupancy The procedure and each step of being developed algorithm is described in the next (1) The detection area of proposal PIR is made up of 2 of $1.8{\times}0.6m$ size(the detection area is named 1 and 3) and 1 of $1.8{\times}1.78m$ size(the detection area is named 2) (2) The image detection area is set on monitor to analyze outdoor photographing data then video frame analysis has been done by analyzer. (3) The occupancy, nonoccupancy and speed data of vehicle have been collected with the detection area 1 and 3 and lane change has been collected with combination of detection area 1, 2 and 3 The MAD and MAPE have been utilized to being compared with volume, occupancy and nonoccupancy for the field application and evaluation of a algorithm As the result, the proposal PIR data have been identified superior to the existing PIR data and the effect has been improved its information(volume, occupancy and nonoccupancy)

This study aims to introduce a basic principle to improve the incident detection algorithm using traffic flow diagrams that can classify traffic states with a high reliability on the basis of the analysis of traffic flow characteristics under the recurrent or incident congestions. It is tried to newly classify the traffic states with the speed-flow and speed-occupancy diagrams. This is because McMaster algorithm has a tendancy on not identifying the traffic states exactly using the flow-occupancy diagram. In this study it shows that the classification of traffic states is applicable to use speed-occupancy relationship Therefore, it is necessary to determine some parameters to correctly classify the areas representing the traffic states and it may be possible to develop a new algorithm to detect the incident with a high reliability.

Real-time extraction of traffic information such as the number of vehicles passing, speed, road-occupancy rate, distance between vehicles, and vehicle types from the traffic scenes acquired from the camera on the road, is a core component of the intelligent transportation system(lTS) We present a scheme of extracting the traffic informations based on the spatio-temporal image analysis, which is robust to the variation of weather conditions and the shades. The images of two detection regions for each traffic lane are classified into one of the three categories: the road, the vehicle, and the shade, using the statistical and structural features Quantitative traffic informations are retrieved by analysing the two spatio-temporal images. Since only the local images of detection regions are processed, the real-time operation of more than 30 frames per second is realized while ensuring the detection performance robust to the operating condition.

The novel vision-based scheme for real-time extracting traffic parameters is proposed in this paper. Detecting and tracking of vehicle is processed at local region installed by operator. Local region is divided to segmented regions by edge and frame difference, and the segmented regions are classified into vehicle, road, shadow and headlight by statistical and geometrical features. Vehicle is detected by the result of the classification. Traffic parameters such as velocity, length, occupancy and distance are estimated by tracking using template matching at local region. Because background image are not used, it is possible to utilize under various conditions such as weather, time slots and locations. It is performed well with 90.16% detection rate in various databases. If direction, angle and iris are fitted to operating conditions, we are looking forward to using as the core of traffic monitoring systems.

The advanced traffic management system of intelligent transport systems automates the related traffic tasks such as vehicle speed, traffic volume and traffic incidents through the improved infrastructures like high definition cameras, high-performance radar sensors. For the safety of road users, especially, the automated incident detection and secondary accident prevention system is required. Normally, CCTV based image object detection and radar based object detection is used in this system. In this paper, we proposed the algorithm for real time highway incident detection system using multi surveillance cameras to mosaic video and track accurately the moving object that taken from different angles by background modeling. We confirmed through experiments that the video detection can supplement the short-range shaded area and the long-range detection limit of radar. In addition, the video detection has better classification features in daytime detection excluding the bad weather condition.

The image processing technique is very sensitive to the variation of external environment, so it tends to lose a lot of accuracy when the external environment changes rapidly. In this paper, we propose a vehicle detecting and tracking system for crime prevention suitable for an external environments with various changes using the image processing technique. Because the vehicle camera detector for crime prevention extracts and tracks the vehicle within one lane, it is important to classify a characteristic region rather than the contour of a vehicle. The proposed system detects the entrance of the vehicle using optical flow and tracks the vehicle by classifying the headlights, the bonnet, the front-window and the roof area of the vehicle. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to the environmental changes such as type, speed and time of a vehicle.

ATIS(Advanced Traveler Information System) is the system to offer a real-time traffic information or traffic situation for the benefit of the client. One of traffic information collection methods for ATIS research is the method of image analysis. The method is divided into two : one is the method to set two loop detectors at the area and the other is the method detecting the vehicle through an image analysis. In this paper, we propose a real-time traffic information collection system to mix two methods. The system installs multiple virtual detection lines and traces the location of the vehicle. Use of multiple virtual detection lines supplements the defect of the method of loop detectors. And we drew a representative pixels in the detecting area and used it for image analysis. This is to solve the problem of time delay which increases as the image size increases. We gathered traffic images and experimented using the system and got 92.32% of detection accuracy.
