| Project detail | ||
| Project Description: | Phase II: (1) Developed basic simulation model based on open published algorithms and papers. (2) Developed C++ project to share data between operating programs. (3) Develop a server client architecture for programs. A phase II has been awarded.(4) Develop a database architecture for input output streams.(5) Develop architecture for handling multiple turning and auxiliary lanes.(6) Added linkage to coordinate cumulative and time interval measures of effectiveness with graphical files. | |
| Goals: | Evaluate whether it is possible to utilize enhanced loop sensor amplifiers to measure and track vehicle signatures to create anonymous travel time and origin-destination information. | |
| Background Information: | The purpose of this project is to develop a tool for research that can be developed into an easy to use tool for measuring traffic performance measures for traffic operations personnel. | |
| Product Type: | Hardware Research report | |
| Test Methodology: | See project description. | |
| Partners: | U.S. Department of Transportation: Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA); Role(s): Other stakeholder | |
| Expected Benefits: | The expected benefit is the development of new techniques for research into simulation modeling. | |
| Deliverables: | Name: Proprietary loop signature amplifier for identifying and reidentifying anonymous vehicle signatures. Product Type(s): Research report, Hardware Description: see name | |
| Project Findings: | Phase I demonstrated that it was possible to utilize special loop amplifiers to measure the pulse intensity in high resolution time intervals. Phase I demonstrated that different classes of vehicles gave different vehicle signatures. Phase II will investigate the uniqueness of the signatures and whether they can be used for vehicle identification and reidentification. | |
