ESTIMATING TRAFFIC DEMAND USING UPLINK INFORMATION FROM INFRARED VEHICLE DETECTORS

Currently, various traffic conditions are measured by using different detectors such as loop-coil and so on. In Japan, infrared vehicle detectors (IRVD) were introduced and installed in urban areas since 1994. This vehicle detector has two functions, one is counting vehicle numbers, and the other is transmitting traffic information to each driver. In this paper, in order to estimate an OD matrix, uplink information from infrared vehicle detectors in Yokohama, Japan was gathered and stored. For the covering abstract see IRRD E102946.
