Image frame analysis is a conventional way of evaluating loop detector's performance. In image frame analysis, the time to evaluate performance is linearly proportional to the number of evaluated subjects, and the results can be subjective, depending on operator's personal evaluation standards and physical condition. Also, this method is often inferior in accuracy to that provided by the evaluated devices. Therefore, it is critical to develop a portable standard system which has better accuracy and more objectivity in evaluating vehicle detectors. This paper discusses function and reliability of tape-switch detector, which can be a replacement for image frame analysis, for effectively measuring traffic volume, speed, and occupancy.

This paper is a sequel of the Part I paper[1] on the modified digital Costas loop. In this Part II we analyze the performance of the system in the presence of noise. It is shown that, when the input signal is corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise, the noise process in the loop becomes Rician as a result of the tan-1 (.) function of the phase error detector. Steady state probability density functions of phase errors of the first-and second-order loops have been obtained by solving the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation numerically. Also, the mean and variance of phase error in the steady state have been obtained analytically, and are compared with the results obtained by computer simulation.

This paper presents a practical linearization technique for a wide-band bang-bang digital phase locked-loop(BBDPLL) by selecting optimal loop gains. In this paper, limitation of the theoretical design method for BBDPLL is explained, and introduced how to implement practical BBDPLLs with CMOS process. In the proposed BBDPLL, the limited cycle noise is removed by reducing the proportional gain while increasing the integer array and dither gain. Comparing to the conventional BBDPLL, the proposed one shows a small area, low power, linear characteristic. Moreover, the proposed design technique can control a loop bandwidth of the BBDPLL. Performance of the proposed BBDPLL is verified using CppSim simulator.

An RF energy detector for spectrum sensing in TV white space transceiver is presented. It is based on an RF active filtering technique that comprises a low-noise amplifier with a frequency-translation high-pass filtering feedfoward loop, which attenuates the unwanted sideband energy and only passes the wanted band energy. Unlike the conventional architecture, a new architecture that can attenuate both sidebands at the same time is proposed. A simplified system modeling method is presented to assess the non-ideality effects on the RF energy detector performances. System behavioral simulations demonstrate that the proposed architecture can be instrumental for realizaing a RF energy detector circuit in CMOS.

A nickel layer was deposited onto the PZT thin films, serving both as a selective radiation absorption layer and as a top electrode. The absorption properties of such nickel coated multi-layered infrared detectors were studied in the visible and infrared wavelength ranges. The optimal thickness of the nickel layer on our substrate was 10nm. The maximum absorption coefficient of the deposited 10nm thick nickel layer was 0.7 at a 632nm wavelength. However, a striking asymmetric polarization hysteresis loop was observed in these PZT thin films with nickel as the top electrode. This asymmetric polarization was attributed to the difference between the dynamic pyroelectric responses in these Ni/PZT/Pt films poled either positively or negatively before the measurement. A positively poled film showed a 40% higher voltage response than a negatively poled detector.

본 논문에서는 기존의 루프감지기와 호환성이 있는 레이더 기술을 이용한 차량감지기를 개발하였다. 24 ㎓의 FMCW 고도계와 도플러 속도계 기술을 이용하여 도로상의 차량 길이와 속도정보를 알아낼 수 있는 비매설형의 차량감지기이다. 신호처리에는 DAQ 보드를 사용하였고, 응용소프트웨어인 LabView로 프로그래밍 하였다. 기존의 루프 감지기와 연결된 교통정보 네트웍과의 호환성을 위해 RS-232C 표준인터페이스를 이용하여 VDS(Vehicle Detector System)로 차량데이터를 전송하였다. 속도와 차량길이 정보의 정확도에 있어서 기존 루프감지기보다 약 10% 정도 향상되었음이 측정되었다.

In this paper, a robust mixed H$_2$/H$\_$$\infty$/ output feedback control method is applied to the design of loop filter for PLL carrier phase tracking. The proposed method successfully copes with large S-curve slope uncertainty and a significant decision delay in the closed-loop that may exist In modern receivers due to a convolutional decoder or an equalizer. The objective is to design an output feedback controller which minimizes the H$_2$performance while satisfying the H$\_$$\infty$/ performance to guarantee the gain margin and phase margin for linear time invariant(LTI) polytopic uncertain systems. LMIs based approach is given to solve this problem. We can verify the H$\_$$\infty$/ performance satisfaction and minimize the phase detector error through the simulation result.

Traffic intersection control is implemented by the data which is acquired to vechile loop detector. Traffic intersection control equation is Webster equation. which use passig and delayed vechile number. But webster equation is applied to the spot traffic intersection, it is not used to related traffic intersection network system. There is not the approprate remote traffic intersection control, even if there is, it is high cost local network system. Therefore low cost and expert traffic intersection control is realized by internet referencing next and distant intersection traffic information.

Traffic speed data may be missed due to detector malfunction or network problems. In this paper we have proposed effective methods to estimate the data which could not be collected through loop detectors. Our proposed algorithm has three steps. First step is to find the most similar neighbor data record by coefficient of correlation. Second step is to make some data records which is calculated by the 5 kinds of estimation methods. Third step is to compare the data records with history data record of observation link and thus the best method is selected. The proposed method is useful for estimating travel time.
