EFFICACY OF VIDEO INCIDENT DETECTION SYSTEM FOR ADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT UNDER NON-ADHERENCE OF LANE DISCIPLINE

摘要

It is obvious that innovative efforts are needed on a massive scale to cope with thernmanagement of traffic operations. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is one such optionrnoffering innovative and cost effective solutions for achieving maximum capacity out of thernexisting highway facilities thereby enhance traffic safety. Considering the importance of ITS,rnsome of the ITS solutions have been taken up for pilot studies before it would bernimplementing in big scale. In connection to this study focused on efficacy of video incidentrndetection system for advanced traffic management system under Indian traffic conditionsrnwhere there is non-adherence of lane discipline. In this study, video image processing usingrnCitilog software has been applied on one urban section for traffic incident detection andrnmeasurement of traffic parameters like traffic flow. From study results it was reveled thatrnVIDS can be successfully implemented under Indian traffic conditions where there is nonadherencernof lane discipline for advanced traffic management system.
