Abstract:

Vehicle detection technologies have been rapidly evolved over the past decade due to the advancement

of sensors and wireless communication technologies and the increasing deployment of traffic‐responsive and

adaptive traffic control systems, which heavily rely on robust vehicle detection.  Given a variety of vehicle

detection technologies available, each has its advantages and disadvantages and may or may not be

appropriate for specific situations or contexts. This research study is conducted to identify the contexts

appropriate for different detection technologies.  High‐resolution data were collected in the field from three

test sites selected in Georgia.  Data mining techniques were employed to identify potential factors underlying

variation in detection errors of different technologies and quantify their respective effects. The quantified

effects were then used to construct technical performance measures in terms of accuracy and reliability,

referred to as technical performance criteria. An agency survey was also conducted in Georgia to assess

nontechnical performance criteria, such as life cycle cost and ease of installation and maintenance. Both

technical and nontechnical performance criteria were considered in evaluating vehicle detection technologies

through a multicriteria framework. Finally, practical constraints frequently encountered in Georgia were

considered as part of respective application contexts.  Based on the results and findings, specific guidelines

were developed to promote consistency in application of various detection technologies and to enhance

efficiency and safety in traffic signal operations in Georgia.
