چکیده

We describe a new system for estimating road shape ahead of a vehicle for the purpose of driver assistance. The method utilises a single on board colour camera, together with inertial and velocity information, to estimate both the position of the host car with respect to the lane it is following and also the width and curvature of the lane ahead at distances of up to 80 metres. The system’s image processing extracts a variety of different styles of lane markings from road imagery, and is able to compensate for a range of lighting conditions. Road shape and car position are estimated using a particle filter. The system, which runs at 10.5 frames per second, has been applied with some success to several hours’ worth of data captured from highways under varying imaging conditions.

Estimation of Travel Time Distributions in Urban Road Networks Using Low-Frequency Floating Car Data

Travel times in urban road networks are highly stochastic. However, most existing travel time estimation methods only estimate the mean travel times, while ignoring travel time variances. To this end, this paper proposes a robust travel time distribution estimation method to estimate both the mean and variance of travel times by using emerging low-frequency floating car data. Different from the...

Road Shape Classification for Detecting and Negotiating Intersections

This paper presents an approach to visually classifying the high-level geometry of the road ahead of a vehicle as a section with continuous curvature parallel edges or an intersection containing right-angled legs. The default behavior of the system is snake-based tracking of parallel road edges for curvature estimation. A separate process segments the road surface from the background using colo...

Estimation of semiparametric stochastic frontiers under shape constraints with application to pollution generating technologies

A number of studies have explored the semiand nonparametric estimation of stochastic frontier models by using kernel regression or other nonparametric smoothing techniques. In contrast to popular deterministic nonparametric estimators, these approaches do not allow one to impose any shape constraints (or regularity conditions) on the frontier function. On the other hand, as many of the previous...

Stochastic Nonparametric Envelopment of Data: Cross-sectional frontier estimation subject to shape constraints

The field of production frontier estimation is divided between the parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and the deterministic, nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper explores an amalgam of DEA and SFA that melds a nonparametric frontier with a stochastic composite error. Our model imposes the standard SFA assumptions for the inefficiency and noise terms. The frontier...

Dynamic Journey Time Estimation in Stochastic Road Networks with Uncertainty

This paper investigates the dynamic journey time estimation (DJTE) problem, which can be used to estimate simultaneously the mean and standard deviation (SD) of path journey times in stochastic road networks. In this paper, a bi-level programming model is proposed to solve the DJTE problem. The upper level is to minimize the deviations of the mean and SD between the estimated and observed path ...
