• Abstract:
  This report presents results for research on a Vision-Based Site Monitoring (VBSM) system for monitoring Wrong-Way Driving (WWD) events. This system integrates a camera, solar power panels, and a modem into a pole-mounted package for deployment on freeway exit ramps to monitor for WWD events. The system incorporates on-camera analytics for WWD detection as well as traffic counts. Collection of WWD video is triggered by the camera analytics, and the system stores the videos for a period before and after the WWD event. The system was deployed at ten exit ramps in Northern California, and two exit ramps in Southern California. Data collected over a 39-month period (June 5, 2016-August 31, 2019) is presented, illustrating the effective performance of the VBSM system as a self-contained system for WWD monitoring application. The analysis of the data for WWD events collected shows agreement with the results of prior research studies, while providing a more complete picture of driver behavior.
