Abstract:Automatic traffic monitoring is becoming an important investment for transportation specialists, especially as the overall volume of traffic continues to increase, as do crashes at intersections. Infrastructure cameras can be a good source of information for automatic monitoring of traffic situations at intersections. However, efficient computer vision methods that can process the video data effectively are required for this endeavor. Intersection cameras often record video data that are of low quality and low frame rate, making them challenging to use. In this project, we have demonstrated how traffic cameras can be used to automatically track roadway agents, find their kinematic behavior, and devise a safety measurement strategy, leveraging recent advancements in computer vision and deep learning. In this process, we have specifically focused on the Virginia Beach area and used publicly available traffic data to demonstrate our results.
The total size of the zip file is 36.6 MB. Desktop Services Store files, or DS_STORE Files, are Mac OS files that stores desktop attributes such as icons and colors. They are only used by Mac OSs and don't require additional software (for more information on .ds_store files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/ds_store-file-extension). The .jpg file extension is associated with JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file format. JPEG is a lossy image compression algorithm that significantly reduces the file size of the original image at the cost of quality. The higher the compression ratio the lower the quality of the .jpg file (for more information on .jpg files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/jpg-file-extension). File extension .json is associated to JavaScript Object Notation file format, a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. It is used by various applications as alternative option to XML file format. The data in a json file are stored in simple text file format and the content is viewable in any simple text editor (for more information on .json files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/json-file-extension). The .pdf file format is an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file and can be opened with the Adobe Acrobat software.

Content Notes:National Transportation Library (NTL) Curation Note: As this dataset is preserved in a repository outside U.S. DOT control, as allowed by the U.S. DOT’s Public Access Plan (https://doi.org/10.21949/1503647) Section 7.4.2 Data, the NTL staff has performed NO additional curation actions on this dataset. This dataset has been curated to CoreTrustSeal's curation level "C. Initial Curation." To find out more information on CoreTrustSeal's curation levels, please consult their "Curation & Preservation Levels" CoreTrustSeal Discussion Paper" (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8083359). NTL staff last accessed this dataset at its repository URL on 2024-02-26. If, in the future, you have trouble accessing this dataset at the host repository, please email NTLDataCurator@dot.gov describing your problem. NTL staff will do its best to assist you at that time.
