Travel Time Estimates Using a Series of Single Loop Volume and Occupancy Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm for estimating travel time using volume and occupancy data from a series of single inductance loops. The algorithm is based on the statistics of the measurements obtained from a traffic management system. The algorithm produces an estimate of speed and travel time as well as providing a reliability test for the speed estimate.

Roads in the Netherlands are often heavily congested. Real-time travel time information can be a valuable instrument to reduce the impact of increasing traffic demand on travel time with advantages for traffic participants as well as for the traffic network managers. For urban roads travel time estimation is a more complex problem than for freeways. In order to provide online, real-time and acc...
متن کاملUsing Archived ITS Data to Generate Improved Freeway Travel Time Estimates
Accurate travel time estimation has become possible with the deployment of advanced traveler management and information systems. Dynamic message signs, websites, and handheld/in-vehicle devices are being increasingly used by public agencies to communicate important travel information to the public such as incidents, road closures and travel times. Travel time estimates are usually derived from ...

Travel time is the reciprocal of speed and is a useful measure of road congestion and traffic system performance. Travel time is also a basic traffic variable that is used in many Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) strategies such as route guidance, incident detection, and traveler information systems. Previously, speeds were mainly acquired from double inductive loops configured as speed ...

This paper addresses the problem of real-time estimation of urban arterial network performance. A number of analytical time-dependent models have been formulated and implemented for the on-line estimation of arterial link and system travel times. The proposed models provide alternative ways of incorporating the contribution of various network and operational characteristics to the travel time. ...
متن کاملDynamic Estimation of Freeway Large-Truck Volumes Based on Single-Loop Measurements
Because of heavy weights and large turning radii, large truck (LT) movements have very different characteristics than those of smaller vehicles, such as passenger cars. This difference makes collection of LT volume data very important for accurate analysis of traffic stream characteristics in transportation planning and engineering. Since LT travel patterns are seasonal, data obtained by survey...
