| 摘要： | Motorists in Moorhead, Minnesota frequently experience delays of up to five minutes due to train operations in the downtown area. The Moorhead Train Detection and Traffic Control System will reduce motorist delay and improve emergency vehicle response in the area. The project utilizes video-based detection of train movements to monitor each train’s presence, speed, length and direction. Data from the detectors is transmitted to the system’s central processor, where algorithms calculate the predicted blockage time at several crossings within the downtown area. This information is used in three different applications. First, alternative traffic signal timing plans are deployed when trains of a minimum length are detected. Second, emergency dispatch personnel are notified of crossing status, allowing for more effective emergency vehicle dispatching and response. Third, a future phase of this project will alert motorists to potential delays with strategically placed variable message signs. |
