This study evaluates recent technology that uses inductive loop detectors, traditionally used for collecting traffic volume and speed data, to provide vehicle classification data by examining the high-resolution signature produced when a vehicle passes over the sensor. The project aims to verify the accuracy of the new classification system, collec

Running red traffic signals is a major cause of traffic collisions and resulting injuries and fatalities. Despite extensive prior work on systems to reduce red light violations, they continue to be a major problem in practice, partly because existing systems suffer from the flaw of providing the same guidance to all drivers. As a result, some viola
