This paper is intended to develop an algorithm for automatic detection of traffic accidents using image sequences. This algorithm is designed for detecting stopped vehicles traffic accidents, break down, illegal stop in the road shoulder - on the range of camera view. Virtual traps are set on accident-prone spots. We analyze the changes in gray levels of pixels on the virtual traps which represent the motion of vehicles on the corresponding spots. We verify the proposed algorithm by simulating some situations and checking if it detect them correctly.

This paper is on a design of a new balise system which has a new functional part of a micro-power inductive wireless loop vehicle detector. The field test has processed and the data has analyzed for check the solar energy operable ability of the detect data interconnect sub-system which includes repeaters and field controllers. Instead of a railroad environment, 12 individual parking-lots are used for field test environment. As a result, in the condition of the designed system and the test environment, it is assumed that under 200 passing vehicles(train or tram) per day can be processed only with solar energy.

This paper not only tests VIDS(Video Image Detection System) performance by vehicle speed group but also suggests optimal VIDS height considering road and cost condition. The VIDS spreads over freeway and national highway and plays an important role in ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems). As a result, speed data accuracy drops form 50kph vehicle speed and volume and occupancy data accuracy drop from 30kph. Lowest speed data accuracy is only 88%, but volume and occupancy accuracy are 75% and 77% respectively. The reason VIDS data accuracy drop by vehicle speed is gap distance decrease between vehicles. Therefore, this paper suggests $17m{\sim}21m$ for optimal VIDS height considering road and cost condition.

Video Image Processing (VIP) for traffic surveillance has been used not only to gather traffic information, but also to detect traffic conflicts and incident conditions. This paper presents a system development of gathering traffic information and conflict detection based on automatic calculation of pixel length within the detection zone on a Video Detection System (VDS). This algorithm improves the accuracy of traffic information using the automatic detailed line segmentsin the detection zone. This system also can be applied for all types of intersections. The experiments have been conducted with CCTV images, installed at a Bundang intersection, and verified through comparison with a commercial VDS product.

With the development of high-cost vehicle detectors, low-cost detectors have also been studied due to the advantage that more detectors are provided within limited budgets. This study proposed a method to estimate vehicle speeds using vehicles' track data from auto manufacturers and time stamps obtained when vehicles' tires pass an inclined sensor (here, a tape switch sensor). In speed estimation, small vehicles and large vehicles is distinguished according to the ratio of time stamps for a wheelbase and a rear track obtained from a tape switch sensor. In particular, speed estimation can be adjusted through a parameter to determine vehicles' size so as to take into account location properties such as vehicles' classification ratio. The low-cost vehicle detector with an inclined sensor proposed in this study is expected to be widely utilized to monitor traffic conditions thanks to low cost.

Image Processing Technique has been used as an efficient method to collect traffic information on the road such as vehicle counts, speed, queues, congestion and incidents. Most of the current methods which have been used to detect vehicles by the image processing are based on point processing, dealing with the local gray level of each pixel in the small window. However, these methods have some drawbacks. Firstly, detection is restricted by image quality. Secondly, they can not deal with occlusion and perspective projection problems, In this research, a new method which possibly deals with occlusion and perspective problems will be proposed. It extracts spatial information such as the position, the relationship of vehicles in 3-dimensional space, as well as vehicle detection in the image. The main algorithm used in this research is based on an extension of the Hough Transform. The Hough Transform which is proposed to estimates parameters of vertices and directed edges analytically on the Hough Space, is a valuable method for the 3-dimensional analysis of static scenes, motion detection and the estimation of viewing parameters.

본 연구에서는 차량검지시스템을 이용하여 메타데이터의 검지시스템의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어가 도로에 적합한 시스템이 되도록 실험을 통하여 이를 검증하고, 표준화를 위해 제안하였다. 첫째, 교통정보를 메타데이터하고자 할 때 그 구축범위가 너무 광범위한 점을 보완하여 시내 교통정보의 범위를 줄이고자 적용범위로 VDS(차량검지시스템 : Vehicle Detection System)의 메타데이터 구성요소에 대한 표준을 마련하였다. 둘째, 본 표준에서는 차량의 속도, 단위 시간당 차량의 통과수 및 점유시간 등을 조사할 수 있는 VDS의 메타데이터 구성요소를 추출하고 데이터 요소에 대한 정의 및 기술형식을 정의하였다. 셋째, VDS의 메타데이터 표준지정은 교통정보의 데이터 요소 및 형식을 동일하게 사용하도록 함으로써 상이한 개발업체에 의해 개발된 시스템의 교통정보를 일관성 있게 표현할 수 있다. 넷째, 본 표준은 VDS 메타데이터의 데이터 요소명을 표준화하기 위해서 Data Dictionary를 구축하여 실제 데이터 요소에서 data dictionary에서 정의된 약어들의 조합으로 표시하여 데이터 모델링시 유용하게 쓰일 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper is proposed to algorithm for measuring traffic information automatically, for example, volume count, speed and occupancy rate, from CCTV camera images installed on highway, add to function of image detectors which can be collected the traffic information. Recently the method of traffic informations are counted in lane one by one, but this manner is occurred critical errors by occlusion frequently in case of passing larger vehicles(bus, truck etc.) and is impossible to measure in the 8 lanes of highway. In this paper, installed the detection area include with all lanes, traffic informations are collected using tracking algorithm with passing vehicles individually in this detection area, thus possible to detect all of 8 lanes. The experiment have been conducted two different real road scenes for 20 minutes. For the experiments, the images are provided with CCTV camera which was installed at Kiheung Interchange upstream of Kyongbu highway, and video recording images at Chungkye Tunnel. For image processing, images captured by frame-grabber board 30 frames per second, $640{\times}480$ pixels resolution and 256 gray-levels to reduce the total amount of data to be interpreted.

In this paper, we suggested a vehicle classification algorithm using pattern recognition method. At present, Inductive Loop Detector is rarely used for vehicle classification because of its low accuracy. To improve the accuracy, we suggest a new algorithm for Loop Detector using neural networks. In the developed algorithm, the inputs to the neural networks are the variation rate of frequency and occupancy-time. The output is classified vehicles. The developed algorithm was assessed at test sites and the recognition rate was 91.3percent. The results verified that the proposed algorithm improves the vehicle classification accuracy compared to the conventional method based on Loop Detector.
