Collection of Micro-level Safety and Efficiency Indicators with Automated Video Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper revises the theoretical grounds for relation of the micro-level behaviour indicators to the safety and efficiency (level-of service) of the local traffic system. Automated video analysis is suggested as a tool for collection of the individual data about road users driving trajectories and speeds and interaction with other road users. We describe the current state of the video analysis system developed at Lund University, Sweden, and illustrate its performance as a watch-dog for the interaction situations that can be further used for safety and level-of-service analysis.

Evaluation of traffic safety, based on micro-level behavioural data: theoretical framework and first implementation.
A traffic encounter between individual road users is a process of continuous interplay over time and space and may be seen as an elementary event with the potential to develop into an accident. This paper proposes a framework for organising all traffic encounters into a severity hierarchy based on some operational severity measure. A severity hierarchy provides a description of the safety situa...
متن کاملAutomated Pedestrian Safety Analysis Using Video Data in the Context of Scramble Phase Intersections
Pedestrian data is critical for supporting safety studies and proper design of pedestrian facilities. There has been a traditional shortcoming in the transportation literature with regard to the availability of and quality of pedestrian data. A potential reason is that current data collection methods mainly rely on human observers which make them costly and prone to observer-based errors. In ad...
متن کاملCompressed Domain Scene Change Detection Based on Transform Units Distribution in High Efficiency Video Coding Standard
Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Embankments Reinforced with Micro-Piles
Application of micro-piles to stabilize unstable slopes has been widely considered in recent years. A micro-pile is a small-diameter (typically less than 300 mm), drilled, and grouted as non-displacement pile that is typically reinforced. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the micro-pile group on increasing safety factor as well as finding the optimum position of m...
متن کاملAGV (automated guided vehicle) robot: Mission and obstacles in design and performance
The AGV (automated guided vehicle) was introduced in UK in 1953 for transporting. But nowadays, due to their high efficiency, flexibility, reliability, safety and system scalability, they are used in various application in industries. In brief, the AGV robot is a system which typically made up of vehicle chassis, embedded controller, motors, drivers, navigation and collision avoidance sensors, ...
