We have developed a field prototype of a laser-based non-intrusive detection system for real-time measurement of delineations of moving vehicles for highway testing, based on our previous research on the laboratory prototype of the system. The primary goal of this project is to develop a roadway...

This paper reports on the first phase of the location technology evaluation for probe vehicles. Two technologies were evaluated, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and the cellular phone tracking technology developed by US Wireless. Although GPS has shown great potential for vehicle probes, much...

This report presents a vehicle reidentification algorithm for consecutive detector stations on a freeway, whereby a vehicle measurement made at a downstream detector station is matched with the vehicle's corresponding measurement at an upstream station. The algorithm should improve freeway...

Over the years, many TMCs have accumulated large loop detector datasets due to the loops' extensive presence in existing infrastructure. However, the information in these data sets often lies dormant partly because of the lack of effective means to summarize and display it. We present a simple...
