COMPARISON BETWEEN VEHICLE SPEED PROFILES ACQUIRED BY DIFFERENTIAL GPS AND UAV

2014

Traffic microscopic simulation models are able to represent traffic conditions and their evolution over time. They take into account the geometrical aspects of transport infrastructures, driver behavior and, step by step, the vehicles’ movements on the road network. The most widespread applications of these models are referred to accident management, route guidance problems (possibility of evaluating control strategies in real time), adaptive control of traffic-light and ramp metering (management and control of the ramps and flow). To accomplish this goal observational data of vehicles’ kinematic characteristics have to be acquired. These elements are not always easily available. In scienti…
