Vehicle classification system in Korea is operated by two different types depending on operating purpose and place. 8-category classification system operates in Expressway and Provincial road, and 11-category classification system operates in National highway. These different operations decrease the efficiency of practical use of gathering data. Therefore, this study proposes new-modified vehicle classification system for solving this problem. For classification, this study not only focuses on mechanic survey system which is based on vehicle specs, it's also focuses on the applicability of roadside survey. This proposed classification system considers the tendency to vary of vehicle types, and the compatibility with the other classification systems. This system might be the most suitable system for our present situation.

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.

A vehicle classification data is essential for traffic road planning and pavement. In this study, the vehicle height, vehicle criteria for classification applied to measure the height of the car driving has devised a way to install equipment. It is capable of measuring the vehicle height was confirmed to field experiments, the measurement system is obtained to the vehicle length and height data. In this experiment, results showed the accuracy of 88.6% compared to classification data using the discriminant function obtained from video replaying. The height of vehicle applying the classification criteria can be utilized to determine the vehicle class.

범죄차량 판독 시스템, 지능화된 CCTV 등 차량과 관련된 시각지능에 관한 연구가 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 이 중 차량 분류 기술은, 특정 차량을 인식하는 핵심기술이다. 이와 관련한 기존 연구들은 큰 차종으로만 분류하거나, 분류 가능한 차종의 수, 정확도 등이 낮아 실용성 및 신뢰성이 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 차종을 정확하게 분류할 수 있는 2단계 차종 분류 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 CNN으로 학습된 모델을 기반으로 1차로 차량의 유형을 분류하고, 2차로 정확한 차종을 분류한다. 실험 결과, 52개의 차종을 분류함에 있어 단일 분류 모델에 비해 5.3%p 더 높은 90.2%의 분류 정확도를 보였다. 이를 통해, 더욱 정확한 차종 분류가 가능하다.

In order to observe the impact of a type of vehicles for traffic flows and pavement, vehicle classifications is conducted. Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs provides 12-type vehicle classifications on National expressways, National highways, and Provincial roads. Current AVC (Automatic Vehicle Classification) devices decide vehicle types comparing measurements of vehicle lengths, wheelbases, overhangs etc. to a reference table including those of all types of models. This study developed an algorithm for macroscopic vehicle classification which is less sensitive to tuning sensors and updating the reference table. For those characteristics, trend lines in vehicle lengths and wheelbases are employed. To assess the algorithm developed, vehicle lengths and wheelbases were collected from an AVC device. In this experiment, this algorithm showed the accuracy of 88.2 % compared to true values obtained from video replaying. Our efforts in this study are expected to contribute to developing devices for macroscopic vehicle classification.

Traffic volume is essential data for traffic control or maintenance and rehabilitation planning. The volume especially with respect to the type of vehicles can facilitate to those road operations. In this research, a method for vehicle classification was developed using skewed sensors which can generate traffic signatures. In order to characterize vehicle types, the method investigates whether the second axle of each vehicle consists of dual tires. The presence of dual tire is determined by the discriminate function obtained from discriminant analysis. The validation using 1,878 vehicles recorded from a highway using a CCTV camera indicated significantly accurate results: 96.92% for class 1, 82.91% for class 3 and 79.13% for class 4.

This paper proposes a classification method using the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) which can obtain the type of trucks from the input image without the feature extraction step. To automatically classify vehicle images according to the type of truck cargo box, the top view images of the vehicle are used as input image and we design the structure of the CNN suitable for the input images. Learning images and correct output results is generated and the weights of neural network are obtained through the learning process. The actual image is input to the CNN and the output of the CNN is calculated. The classification performance is evaluated through comparison CNN output with actual vehicle types. Experimental results show that vehicle images could be classified with more than 90 percent accuracy according to the type of cargo box and this method can be used for pre-classification for inspecting loading defect.

The objective of this study is to develop the new vehicle classification algorithm and minimize classification errors. The existing vehicle classification algorithm collects data from loop and piezo sensors according to the specification("Vehicle classification guide for traffic volume survey" 2006) given by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. The new vehicle classification system collects the vehicle length, distance between axles, axle type, wheel-base and tire type to minimize classification error. The main difference of new system is the "Wandering" sensor which is capable of measuring the wheel-base and tire type(single or dual). The wandering sensor obtains the wheel-base and tire type by detecting both left and right tire imprint. Verification tests were completed with the total traffic volume of 762,420 vehicles in a month for the new vehicle classification algorithm. Among them, 47 vehicles(0.006%) were not classified within 12 vehicle types. This results proves very high level of classification accuracy for the new system. Using the new vehicle classification algorithm will improve the accuracy and it can be broadly applicable to the road planning, design, and management. It can also upgrade the level of traffic research for the road and transportation infrastructure.

Vehicle classification data are considerably used in the almost all fields of transportation planning and engineering. Highway agencies use a large number of vehicle classification schemes. Vehicles on the national highway are classified by 12-Category classification system, using number of axles, distances between axles, vehicle length, overhang, and other factors. In the case of using existing axle-sensor-based classification counters (that is, 12-category classification system), two-axle vehicles(Class 1 to 4) can be erroneously classified because a passenger vehicle becomes larger and similar with class 3 and 4. In this reason, this study proposes the vehicle classification scheme based on using vehicle height profiles obtained by a laser sensors. Also, the accuracy of the proposed method are tested through a field study.
