Sensor Technologies and Data Requirements for Its

By Lawrence A. Klein

Beginning with descriptions of parameters that characterize the flow of vehicles on freeways, arterial roads, and feeder routes, this hands-on book examines intrusive and non-intrusive traffic sensors and associated technologies that measure traffic flow and assist in the management of congestion. You get the latest information about sensors that provide wider coverage areas and a larger variety of traffic flow parameters than the more conventional inductive loops. The operating characteristics of these measuring devices is illustrated through detailed discussions of traffic-responsive arterial signal control, freeway incident detection, ramp metering, electronic toll and traffic management, commercial vehicle operations, advanced traveler information systems, and sensor installation and maintenance issues.
