VIDEO IMAGE DETECTION FOR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL

The University of Florida Transportation Research Center has completed a research project dealing with video image detection (VID) for traffic surveillance and control. The objectives were to assess the state of the art and to pursue promising applications for this new technology. This report summarizes the activities and accomplishments of the project under four categories: Development and/or acquisition of a system for collecting and analyzing videotaped data from the field; Investigation of applications for VID to traffic surveillance and control on freeways and surface streets; Presentation of technology transfer workshops on VID; and, Compilation of a library of videotapes for future use in demonstrating and evaluating VID concepts.
