Traffic level of service generation from video detection system using cluster analysis

Kurzfassung

In general, traffic service quality can be described by different parameters and the traffic level of service (LOS) is mainly determined by one of them, such as traffic flow or traffic speed. However, the traffic phenomenon is extremely complex; its characteristics cannot be well represented only by one single parameter. The aim of this research is to determine a more representable LOS based on three measured parameters, derived from the local traffic video data collected in Hefei, China. The result of this work will be used for data fusion with floating car data (FCD) and other traffic information in order to more accurately capture the current traffic situation of the city.
