| 摘要： | A new methodology has been developed for smoothing loop detector data based on digital signal processing. After introducing basic signal processing theory, existing smoothing techniques like fixed-time averages, cumulative sums, and moving-time averages--all subsets of the larger digital signal processing methodology--are described. Nontraditional smoothing techniques based on custom digital filter design are then presented, specifically, low-pass filters that "pass" slowly changing features of the detector data unchanged while attenuating rapidly changing features. Custom digital filter design gives more control over the smoothing process than do traditional smoothing methods. In particular, the amount of amplification or attenuation at a given frequency (e.g., rapidly or slowly changing features) can be set. Whether a custom filter or a traditional smoothing process is used, an understanding of the frequency response can increase the usefulness of the resulting data by clarifying the limitations of the given smoothing process. To illustrate this, several smoothing processes are presented and contrasted using the same data set. The use of a custom digital filter is demonstrated in three practical applications: an examination of the bivariate flow-occupancy relationship and use of the filtering process to eliminate unstable disturbances from the data set, speed estimation from a single detector under congested conditions, and temporal issues relating to shock wave and fluctuation propagation specifically. |
