New approaches for real time traffic data acquisition with airborne systems

Abstract

The topic of the paper is the adaptation of air borne remote sensing in transportation. It describes two systems for traffic data collection for different uses. All applications require real-time derivation of traffic flow parameters and this paper illustrates the approaches in hard and software for fulfilling these demands. It shows detailed information for online georeferencing, real-time pattern recognition, speed measurement and car classification. The results will be shown and discussed. In a short outlook a different approach is outlined and necessary enhancements are shortly described.
