Section based traffic detection on motorways for incident management
conference paper
Current vehicle detection on motorways is based generally on either inductive loop systems or various alternatives such as video cameras. Recently, we encountered two new developments that take a different approach: one from The Netherlands using microwave
sensors, and the other from Sweden using both microwave sensors and a video camera. Both systems gather information of vehicle motion over a road section of up to 200 m length. Although still experimental, in this paper we show that such detectors offer improvements over current detection systems. In particular, we show that section based traffic detection offers possibilities for better queue tail protection and incident detection.
