Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) generates massive amounts of traffic data, which posts ; challenges for data storage, transmission and retrieval. Data compression and reconstruction technique plays an ; important role in ITS data procession. Traditional compression methods have been utilized in Transportation ; Management Centers (TMCs), but the data redundancy and compression efficiency problems remain. In this ; report, the wavelet incorporated ITS data compression method is initiated. The proposed method not only ; makes use of the conventional compression techniques but, in addition, incorporates the one-dimensional ; discrete wavelet compression approach. Since the desired wavelet compression is a lossy algorithm, the ; balancing between the compression ratio and the signal distortion is exceedingly important. During the ; compression process, the determination of the threshold is the key issue that affects both the compression ratio ; and the signal distortion. An algorithm is proposed that can properly select the threshold by balancing the two ; contradicted aspects. Three performance indexes are constructed and the relationships between the three ; indices and the threshold are identified in the algorithm. A MATLAB program with the name Wavelet ; Compression for ITS Data (WCID) has been developed to facilitate the compression tests. A case study on ; TransGuide ITS data was put into play and a final compression ratio of less than one percent on the trade-off ; threshold value shows that the proposed approach is practical. Finally, the threshold selection algorithm can be ; further tuned up utilizing Autoregressive model so that the quality of reconstructed data can be improved with ; a minor overhead of saving only a few parameters.
