Traffic Signal Analysis and Optimization using Connected Cars Location Data
FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01
Summary
Traffic signals are the major components of cities' traffic systems that require continuous maintenance and adjustment for optimal operation using signal performance measures (SPF). Currently, SPF, such as delay and number of stops, can be obtained from expensive and difficult-to-maintain traffic sensors, including cameras, loop detectors, and radars. This project will develop a cost-effective SPF system using connected cars GPS data, aka probe vehicles, using no physical sensors. Connected cars generate massive car data attributes that share the location, speed, engine status, etc. of vehicles to the car manufacturers and other companies, creating many opportunities for developing services for smart cities such as traffic management.

Description
Traffic signals are the major components of cities' traffic systems that require continuous maintenance and adjustment for optimal operation using signal performance measures (SPF). Currently, SPF, such as delay and number of stops, can be obtained from expensive and difficult-to-maintain traffic sensors, including cameras, loop detectors, and radars.

Connected cars generate massive car data attributes that share the location, speed, engine status, etc. of vehicles to the car manufacturers and other companies, creating many opportunities for developing services for smart cities such as traffic management.
Description (French)
Les feux de circulation sont les principales composantes des systèmes de circulation des villes qui nécessitent un entretien et un ajustement continus pour un fonctionnement optimal à l'aide de mesures de performance des feux (MPF). Actuellement, les MPF, tels que le retard et le nombre d'arrêts, peuvent être obtenues à partir de capteurs de circulation coûteux et difficiles à entretenir, notamment des caméras, des détecteurs à boucle et des radars. Ce projet vise à concevoir un système de MPF rentable utilisant les données GPS des voitures connectées, c'est-à-dire des véhicules sondes, sans utiliser de capteurs physiques. Les voitures connectées génèrent des attributs de données massives sur les voitures qui partagent la localisation, la vitesse, l'état du moteur, etc. des véhicules avec les fabricants de voitures et d'autres entreprises, créant ainsi de nombreuses possibilités de développement de services pour les villes intelligentes tels que la gestion de la circulation.
