Human and bicycle detection system using range sensor

This paper presents a full-scale solution to the detection of the traffic data using laser device. Range images, gathered by a particular laser camera, are used in the multi-threshold segmentation. The multi-threshold segmentation is based on the height of the moving objects. In order to get the precise height of the moving objects, mapping of the original terrain is performed on the first step. On each layer, the clustering algorithm called iteration-self organizing data analysis techniques algorithm (ISODATA) is conducted afterwards. Kalman filtering technique is applied to recognize and track the moving objects. Extensive experiments show that these algorithms are effective in object recognition and tracking, as well as robust in the applications.     

A Model of Federated Evidence Fusion for Real-time Urban Traffic State Estimation

In order to make full use of heterogeneous multi-sensor data to serve urban intelligent transportation systems, a real-time urban traffic state fusion model was proposed, named federated evidence fusion model. The model improves conventional D-S evidence theory in temporal domain, such that it can satisfy the requirement of real-time processing and utilize traffic detection information more efficaciously. The model frame and computational procedures are given. In addition, a generalized reliability weight matrix of evidence is also presented to increase the accuracy of estimation. After that, a simulation test is presented to explain the advantage of the proposed method in comparison with conventional D-S evidence theory. Besides, the validity of the model is proven by the use of the data of loop detectors and GPS probe vehicles collected from an urban link in Shanghai. Results of the experiment show that the proposed approach can well embody and track traffic state at character level in real-time conditions.

基于出租车跟踪的市区路网交通状态估计方法

为了获取市区路网的交通状态,提出了一种基于出租车跟踪的市区路网交通状态估计方法。该方法采用GPS定位设备获取出租车的行驶数据,然后结合数字地图数据对其中的位置数据进行修正,并采用A^＊启发式搜索算法对出租车进行跟踪,最终通过计算出租车跟踪路径在所覆盖路段上的置信参数来实现对市区路网交通状态的估计。基于上海市的出租车GPS调度数据和市区路网数字地图数据的应用实例验证了这一方法的可用性。
