The impact of loop detector distance and floating car data penetration rate on queue tail warning
conference paper
There is a growing interest in the traffic community about the relation between traffic data quality and the efficiency of traffic management. Data collection is expensive and if the same level of traffic performance can be reached with less data or if traffic management becomes more efficient with better data, then that is interesting for a lot of transport organisations. In this paper the problem is introduced and illustrated by presenting the results of a study into the effect of different loop detector distances and floating car data (FCD) penetration rates on a queue tail warning system. It shows that for a detector distance of more than 300 meters the performance deteriorates quickly and that the addition of only 1% FCD increases the performance considerably.
