摘要: |
This paper reports a successful demonstration of the use of microwave Doppler radar for all-weather regional surveillance of commuter traffic. Extensive traffic measurements were made from the Empire State Building in New York City using a small marine radar modified to perform high resolution Doppler measurements. The radar was able to measure traffic flows, with extremely precise speed determination, out to distances of over 10 km. The radar concept, when fully developed is expected to add significant and cost-effective enhancements to advanced traffic management systems by providing surveillance of commuter arteries in metropolitan regions from a single elevated site or, at most, a few elevated sites. Specifically, the operational implementation of this concept will employ unattended, low-power non-hazardous microwave Doppler radars mounted atop existing FM or TV broadcasting towers. |
