This paper proposes a vehicle detector with an anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensor and addresses experimental results to show the detector's performance. The detector consists of an AMR sensor and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. The AMR sensor, composed of four magnetoresistors, senses disturbance of the earth's magnetic field caused by a vehicle moving over the sensor and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. This paper verifies performance of the detector on the basis of experimental results obtained from the field tests carried under the two traffic conditions on local highways in Korea. First, I show the vehicle counting performance on a low speed congested highway by comparing the vehicle counts measured by the detector with the exact counts. Second, both vehicle counts and average speeds calculated from the measured point-occupancy on another continuously free running highway are compared with the reference values obtained from a loop detector which has two independent loop coils, where I have used several performance indices including mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) to show the performance consistency between the two types of detectors.

This paper shows field test and evaluation results for a wireless vehicle detector with anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR) sensors. The detector consists of two AMR sensors and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. The AMR sensor senses disturbance of the earth magnetic field caused by a vehicle moving over the sensor and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. In this paper, vehicle speeds are calculated by using two AMR sensors fixed on a board, with constant distance. To test and evaluate the accuracy of the detector in real traffic situations, the detector was installed on a local highway and vehicle speeds and volumes were measured both in a free running and a highly congested traffic. The measurements from the detector are compared with the reference measurements obtained from a traffic camera with the Mean Absolute Percentage Errors (MAPE), which has proved the usefulness of the detector in the field.

This paper proposes a vehicle speed detector with anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors and addresses experimental results to show the performance of the detector. The detector consists of two AMR sensors and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. The AMR sensor senses disturbance of the earth magnetic field caused by a vehicle moving over the sensor and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. In this paper, vehicle speeds are calculated by using two AMR sensors built on a board. The speed of a vehicle is calculated by dividing the known distance between the two sensors with the time difference between two output signals from each sensor, captured sequentially while the vehicle is driving over the sensors. Some field tests have been carried to show the performance of the proposed detector and its usefulness.

This paper proposes a vehicle detector with a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor. The detector consists of a MR sensor and mechanical and electronic apparatuses. Composed of six magnetically variable resistors, the MR sensor senses disturbance of the earth's magnetic field caused by a moving vehicle over itself and then produces an output indicative of the moving vehicle. Experiments have been carried out with three stages. At the first stage, the outputs of the sensor have been analyzed to show the validity of the detector's circuit and the detecting method. At the second stage, the detector has been tested on a local highway in Korea. Through the field tests, the outputs of the detector in response to various kinds of moving vehicles have been collected and analyzed. At the final stage, to verify the performance of the detector, traffic volumes on the highway have been measured with the detector and compared with the exact traffic volumes in a highly congested traffic.

This paper proposed a new type of vehicle detector using a MR sensor. and addressed detector's apparatuses and detecting algorithms. Proposed detector has been tested on a local highway between Mishiryong and Sokcho in Korea. Through extensive field tests, the outputs of the detector in response to various kinds of passing vehicles have been collected and analyzed. It is verified from the analyses that the outputs of the detector take on very different aspects with each vehicle, so that information on not only traffic count but vehicle types could be extracted from the outputs. And, with the proposed detector, traffic volumes on the two lanes in the tested region were measured and compared when both congested and clear traffic situations.

교통정보를 생성하기 위한 가장 전형적인 방법은 차량검지기를 도로에 설치하여 각종 교통변수를 수집하는 방법으로 차량검지기의 수집 정확성에 따라 생성되는 교통정보의 신뢰성에 영향을 미친다. 가장 범용적인 차량검지기는 영상검지기이며, 본 연구에서는 지자기검지기를 영상검지기와 동일 지점에 설치하여 장기간, 다양한 환경에 대해 교통량, 속도 자료에 대한 정확성 평가를 수행하였다. 평가결과 영상검지기는 카메라에서 멀어질수록 오차가 많이 발생하며, 주간보다는 야간에 오차가 많이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 강우량은 교통량 수집에는 영향을 미치지 않으나 속도 수집에는 악영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 운영 중인 영상검지기의 성능을 높이기 위해서는 설치위치 및 높이에 따른 카메라 화각분석 및 이에 따른 화각의 최적화가 요구되며, 악천후 시에는 별도의 성능평가기준이 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Loop detector is the cheapest method to measure the speed and piezzo is used to detect the vehicle axle information. A ISA slot based I/O board is designed for data acquisition and PC process the raw traffic data and transfer the data to the host system. Simulation kit is designed with toy car kits. simulated loop detector and piezzo sensor. The data acquisition system collects up to 10 lane highway traffic data such as vehicle count. speed. length axle count. distance between the axles. The data is processed to generate traffic count, vehicle classification, which are to be used for ITS. The system architecture and simulation data is included and the system will be tested for field operation.

In this paper, the confirmation method of target detection for the vehicle mounted metal detector (MD) has been described. The vehicle mounted MD with the arrayed 6 coils to detect the width of 2.4 m was demonstrated. It is important and necessary to inform the location of the objects detected by the MD. The confirmation method of target detection was verified by using the MD GUI and the analysis of the receive signal processing. The receive signal processing is performed by comparing the threshold and the difference of the signal calibrated at initial location and the signal detected at present location.

본 연구는 신호교차로에서으 교통변화에 따른 교통상태를 실 시간으로 정확히 판별해 내기 위한 루프 검지기의 적정 형태 및 위치를 결정하였다. 교차로 정시선의 직진용 루프검지기의 적정 형태는 점유와 비점유시간의 신뢰도로서 결정하였으며, 도시간선도로상의 실시간 교통신호제어의 적용에 가장 적합한 루프는 특수형 루프가 적합하다고 판단된다. 결정된 특수형(7,8번) 및 기존검지기(1번)의 형태와 권선방식은 <그림6.1>에 제시하였다. 직진용 루프의 적정 위치는 정지선 부근에서의 차량의 이용특성상 정지선으로부터 50Cm이내에 설치하는것이 바람직하다고 판단되며, 좌회전용 루프의 적정 위치는 정지선 부근의 좌회전 차선 이용행탱로서 결정되며, 루프 한개를 설치할 경우에는 정지선으로부터 20Cm이내에 설치하는것이 바람직하다. 상류부 루프의 적정형태는 특수형 루프(1.8${\times}$4.0m:1,7번)와 기존시스템에서 사용하고 있는 루프(1.8${\times}$1.8m:1번)가 검지기준에 따라 모두 적합하다고 판단되었다. 대기행렬 검지기 및 앞막힘(Spillback) 예방 검지기의 위치는 링크길이,횡단보도여부,대기행렬 예측범위 등을 고려하여 각 검지기의 위치가 결정되었으며 또한 링크길이 250m이하인 경우는 대기행렬을 관리(Queue Management)하는 측명에서 검지기위치가 고려되어야 한다.
