This study suggested a method of detecting an incident inside tunnel by using camera that is installed within the tunnel. As for the proposed incident detection method, a static object, travel except vehicles, smoke, and contra-flow were detected by extracting the moving object through using the real-time background image differencing after receiving image from the camera, which is installed inside the tunnel. To detect the moving object within the tunnel, the positive background image was created by using the moving information of the object. The incident detection method was developed, which is strong in a change of lighting that occurs within the tunnel, and in influence of the external lighting that occurs in the entrance and exit of the tunnel. To examine the efficiency of the suggested method, the experimental images were acquired from Marae tunnel and Expo tunnel in Yeosu of Jeonnam and from Unam tunnel in Imsil of Jeonbuk. Number of images, which were used in experiment, included 20 cases for static object, 20 cases for travel except vehicles, 4 cases for smoke, and 10 cases for contra-flow. As for the detection rate, all of the static object, the travel except vehicles, and the contra-flow were detected in the experimental image. In case of smoke, 3 cases were detected. Thus, excellent performance could be confirmed. The proposed method is now under operation in Marae tunnel and Expo tunnel in Yeosu of Jeonnam and in Unam tunnel in Imsil of Jeonbuk. To examine accurate efficiency, the evaluation of performance is considered to be likely to be needed after acquiring the incident videos, which actually occur within tunnel.

This study has determined optimal type, and location of loop detector to measure accurately traffic condition influenced by traffic variation with real time. Optimal type of loop detector for through vehicle at stop bar was determined by confidences of occupancy period, and nonoccupancy period, and so appropriate detector type for application to real time traffic control system has been decided on special loop detector.

The objective of this study is to actualize a statistical model of the 3-detector simplification model, which was proposed to detect outbreak situations by Daganzo in 1997 and to verify the statistical appropriacy thereof. This study presents the calculation process of the 3-detector simplification model and realizes the process using a statistics program. Firstly, the model was applied using data on detector of the main highways on which there is no entrances or exits. Moreover, in order to statistically verify the 3-detector simplification model, accumulative traffics for 30 seconds period, which reflects the dynamic changes of traffics due to shock wave, were estimated for outbreak traffics and steady flow, and the error of acquired data was statistically compared with that of the actual accumulative traffics. As a result, the error ratio between steady and incident cumulative flows has reached its maximum after 2-3 hours from an accident. Moreover, the incident traffic flows by accidents and the stade flows are heterogeneous in terms of their dispersion and means.

The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient incident detection algorithm by applying machine learning, which is being widely used in the transport sector. As a first step, network of the target site was constructed with micro-simulation model. Secondly, data has been collected under various incident scenarios produced with combination of variables that are expected to affect the incident situation. And, detection results from both McMaster algorithm, a well known incident detection algorithm, and the Naive Bayes algorithm, developed in this study, were compared. As a result of comparison, Naive Bayes algorithm showed less negative effect and better detect rate (DR) than the McMaster algorithm. However, as DR increases, so did false alarm rate (FAR). Also, while McMaster algorithm detected in four cycles, Naive Bayes algorithm determine the situation with just one cycle, which increases DR but also seems to have increased FAR. Consequently it has been identified that the Naive Bayes algorithm has a great potential in traffic incident detection.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have enabled the integration of AI technology into image sensors, such as Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), to detect specific traffic incidents. However, most incident detection methods have been carried out using fixed equipment. Therefore, there have been limitations to incident detection for all roadways. Nevertheless, the development of mobile image collection and analysis technology, such as image sensors and edge-computing, is spreading. The purpose of this study is to estimate the reducing effect of the incident detection time according to the introduction level of mobile image collection and analysis equipment (or connected vehicles). To carry out this purpose, we utilized data on the number of incidents collected by the Suwon branch of the Gyeongbu expressway in 2021. The analysis results showed that if the market penetration rate (MPR) of connected vehicles is 4% or higher for two-lane expressway and 3% or higher for three-lane expressways, the incident detection time was less than one minute. Furthermore, if the MPR is 0.4% or higher for two-lane expressways and 0.2% or higher for three-lane expressways, the incident detection time decreased compared to the average incident detection time announced by the Korea Expressway Corporation for both two-lane and three-lane expressways.

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.

The accuracy of a video image detector(VID) is gradually reduced due to the various environmental and mechanical factors. But there has been no systematic research about this VID accuracy decreasing. To maintain a proper level of VID accuracy for the advanced traffic management. a regular VID calibration process needs to be introduced. Because of its cost, however. the calibration cannot be performed frequently. Therefore, the method to decide the optimal calibration interval should be studied in details. This study presents two different calibration interval decision methods. Using the invented data collection equipment. some data in the field were collected and analyzed. which were used for the adaptability checking. Although the data were limited. the result is pretty promising. More data needs to be investigated later and this study will help to maintain the data quality of the ITS center.
