Feasibility of Using V2I Sensing Probe Data for Real-Time Monitoring of Multi-Class Vehicular Traffic Volumes in Unmeasured Road Locations

Portions of dynamic traffic volumes consisting multiple vehicle classes are accurately monitored without detectors using vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication systems. This offers the feasibility online monitoring total with multi-vehicle any advanced detectors. To evaluate this prospect, article presents a method multi-class vehicular in road location where road-side equipment (RSE) for V2I is operation. The proposed aims to estimate volume data sensing probe (i.e. partial volumes) collected through RSE. An experimental study was conducted real-world data. results showed that types I and II cars heavy vehicles, respectively) can be effectively average errors 6.69% 10.89%, respectively, when penetration rates in-vehicle device two 0.384 0.537, respectively. performance terms detection error comparable those widely used Therefore, complement functions because rate devices currently high.
